When I start terminal in Ubuntu, I see:

ilya@HOST:~$

I need to add a timestamp to this, something like:

2011-10-09T09:32:00 ilya@HOST:~$

How can I configure this?

There is a good article about how to change your bash prompt and what all the special symbols (like h) mean. It also has a link about how to change the colors in you prompt.

As far as applying the changes in your .bashrc, just run source ~/.bashrc
