Using what method?  by sending the result of ptime::ticks()?  If so, how do
I reconstruct a ptime from the result of this?  Also, the server that this
information is being sent to is written in Java, and it needs to be able to
understand whatever is sent across (i.e. extract day/month/year/etc
information)
