Tell HN: When using Notepad (Windows), press F5 to print current date and time.

If you start the file with ".LOG" it will add date when the file is reopened.

Stupid party trick.

This is a pain when I teach kids HTML using notepad. I instruct them to ctrl+s to save, alt+tab over to their browser and F5 to refresh.

Inevitable they forget the middle part and we end up with webpages filled with timestamps.

Just tell them to press Ctrl+R to refresh.
