to get the precise date formatting that you are looking for in your example use the following strftime format string "%-d/%-m/%y: %k:00 PST"

However, that may not be exactly what you want.Please clarify in your question (a) what you want to do with the time field (e.g. are you always wanting to display a time on the hour? X:00) and (b) are you always wanting to report PST times or do you want to print the actual timezone, or do you want to convert to PST??
