There's a few ways to do it: as you can see, I like to use the 1/100 as the base unit (it's a little under 15 minutes in current reckoning) and go decimal beyond that since you have a neat percentage as a result, and you can drop off precision as needed.
We often (jokingly) measure time in kiloseconds around my office. As rue points out, that's just a bit over fifteen minutes, so its actually a useful unit.

Put a bunch of geeks together too long and this is what happens.

decimal time (using SI prefixes to the regular second) is regularly used in (physical) engineering disciplines.
Real geeks use milli-fortnight
Indeed.

1 fortnight / 1000 = 20.16 minutes
