Uncommon Birthdays?

Posted by Cliff on from the for-the-numerologist-in-all-of-us dept.

Dolmen asks: "In few days I will live my 10.000th day. My last 'common' birthday was no fun at all, so I'm preparing something special this time. I'm wondering what special uncommon date you, as geeks, did already/plan to celebrate. What did you do for those special dates that most ignore?" Hey, this is kinda cool. Maybe I'll do something special for my 10-Gigasecond day, due to occur sometime in December, 2002. What about the rest of you?

  1. 1 Billon since epoch by Zaffle · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well, I celebrated 1 billion seconds since epoch by banging my head repeatidly against a wall trying to figure out why webalizer wasn't working any more. Wasn't until the next day it dawned on me it was 1 billion seconds since the epoch, and that could cause it.

    Mmm, I wonder if I can convince my relatives to give me presents for my 9000 days. *grin*.

    Calculating how old I was in seconds use to be a way of passing a few minutes for me back in highschool. That and working out what the gravitational attraction between me and that cute girl was when she sat 1 meter away from me. I was very bored you understand :)

    I use to have a funny sig, but slash cut it off, and I forgot what the punchline was.
