[erlang-questions] formatting timestamps

[Kenny Stone]

Date times are always frustrating in erlang.

I think this will get you all the data you need...

Now = now().
{{Year,Mon,Day},{Hour,Min,Sec}} = calendar:now_to_universal_time(Now).
{_,_,MicroSec} = Now.

Then you wrangle it into a string with io_lib:

ugly... maybe there's a better way
