After studying the strptime timezone %Z situation for a bit, I have concluded that both time and computers were a mistake.

@bert_hubert I maintain PHP's date/time string parser, and I feel your pain. Even more so because people think it can just parse anything you throw at it. It's pretty good, but it's not magic.

@derickr strength, brother! Writing up some of the pain as a blog post.

@derickr dank je wel, ik stond verbaast wat je er allemaal in kan gooien en dan toch nog een fatsoenlijke datum terug krijgt.

@technetium ja, maar ook wel eens iets dat niemand verwacht :-)
