I'll go one step further. Every file you create should have this date, formatted this way, in the file name - preferably the start. It's always the most important piece of information, and is no longer subject to the whims of the OS.

Find my bones on the hill marked "YYYY-MM-DD for calendar dates." Yes, with padding zeroes. It's for sorting and clarity, not "how people say it." C'mon.
