See if that helps. Permalink format is now /diary/year/month/#date.nnn where nnn is the number of seconds since midnight. Numbers are not zero-padded; it'll only cause trouble if people want to do arithmetic on them in javascript.

Yes, this is not a backward-compatible change. I could have (did, briefly) special-cased the links for old entries, but then I realised that the only external link that I knew of was not going to the right place anyway, so really we'll all be happier in the long run with a Fresh Start.
