# An idea for hexadecimal time
|
|
|
|
- basic unit of time is the second
|
|
- epoch is the unix epoch
|
|
- this makes it compatible with unix time up to second level precision
|
|
- the equivalent of a millisecond would be a mibisecond (1/1024 sec)
|
|
- UTC time of writing: `687F 5394`
|
|
- YYMW DHmm
|
|
- hex minute: 0x100 seconds or 4.267 minutes
|
|
- hex hour: 0x10 minutes or 1.1378 hours
|
|
- hex day: 0x10 hex hours or 0.758 days
|
|
- hex week: 0x10 hex days
|
|
- hex month: 0x10 hex weeks
|
|
- hex year: 0x10 hex months
|
|
- hex century 0x100 hex years |
