給瀏覽者一個不準確的時間

Toby Somerville 發表了一篇名為:RoughTime的文章,文章中指出他建議在頁面上顯示更人性化的粗略的時間.
當問及時間問題,我們不需要一個非常準確的時間.[...]一般來來說,我們在日常生活工作中只需要知道一個大概的時間.例如:快十點了.剛過三點 半...現在在網上一般都顯示12:24:13AM,或者類似的準確時間,這非常不友好.(譯者注:其實寫時間都沒什麼作用,誰的作業系統下面沒有時 間???)
作者用了兩個switch語句將小時和分鐘分別用不同的字串代替.例如:在15到20中間就是一刻鐘,小時方面是把數字轉換成英文(one,two,three,中文的話,就是十二點,十點. )

SitePoint WebTech Blog: Give Your Visitors a Rough Time

In a new post to the Web Tech blog over on SitePoint, Toby Somerville has posted something he calls "RoughTime" - his method for displaying a more "human friendly" output of a timestamp.
When asked the time, we generally don't need to be military accurate with our response [...] we generally communicate the approximate time. i.e. 'its nearly ten' or 'its just gone half past three'. Yet on the web, time is generally shown as '12:24:13 AM', or similar â" not very visitor friendly.
His RoughTime uses two switch statements to map the hour and minute values to different strings. For example, minutes between 15 and 20 become "quarter past" and the hours are changed over from numeric versions to their word counterparts.
