In case you missed it, tonight, around 8:46pm the UNIX time_t counter, which is how most UNIX operating systems keep time -- counting seconds since 01/01/1970 12:00am, ticked over from 999999999 -> 1000000000. i.e. 1 billion seconds.
There was a IRC channel gathering on the Openprojects.net network. Some 500 people gathered in #billennium (and a few other misspelled channels) to mark the passing... obsessively timesyncing with the NIST and USNO atomic clocks and watching "while true; do date +%s ; done". Several people also contributed perl/C/other-language code to do more or less the same thing. -- Mark Orr [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================ BRLUG - The Baton Rouge Linux User Group Visit http://www.brlug.net for more information.
