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?

    Let's see, 10 Gigaseconds, 10 000 000 000 seconds, divide with 60, 166666666,66~ minutes, divide with 60 again, 2777777,77~ hours, divide by 24, 115740,74~ days, divide by 365 and you get 317 years, holy crap slashdot has some true IT dinosaurs!

    Well, I'm turning eleventy-one on the same day my nephew is turning thirty-three, so I think we're going to hold a big joint party. I've got a big surprise planned for the ending - so keep your eyes peeled.
