When the sun is due tomorrow to rise in the east, I suspect I shall be here to see it and wonder as most were, WTF was that all about.

I shall repost this song in the morning, God willing and the creeks don't rise.

Waiting for the Sunrise...

Already on my second :-)

I just think it totally amazing that the media are reporting, that all around the world, 10% of people were genuinely worried about today. We always knew the wackos and conspiracy theorists would come out in force, but what about the rest of the people? Reports of panic food buying and sales of personal survival shelters abound. I find it all a bit worrying actually. Not surprising that if ET were ever found, judging by this they would keep the lid on it.



Well, the sky is falling here right now in a form of heavy rain LOL

Follow the kitties.......
They know full well that if we ever here on Seti found the WOW signal........
It would be suppressed by our government here.

Because that simply would do away with their way of doing thingys.

Heck, I might not pay my taxes nest year.



Anybody feeling more feathery now?

The kitties did not even panic a bit.........still smiling and bouncy.

I am a bit more worried about some other dates. The first was Y2K, but a lot of people put a lot of work into making certain that one went past without too much trouble. Unfortunately, many other people do not realize the amount of work that went on behind the scenes and are basically saying that nothing can go wrong when any of the next technological problem dates rolls around...

Remember Y2k

Well it's not over:

2020: January 1: Systems still using 1920 as pivot date fail; Macintoshes running System 6.0.4 or earlier - correct date can no longer be set in Date & Time Control Panel

2030: January 1: Systems still using 1930 as pivot date fail.

2036: January 1: Burroughs Unisys A Series system date fails?

2036: February 6: 2^32 seconds from Jan 1, 1900.

2037: January 1: Rollover date for NTP systems

2038: January 19: Unix: 2^31 seconds from Jan 1, 1970

2040: February 6: At 06:28:16, old Macs' longword seconds from Jan 1, 1904 overflow.

2042: September 17: IBM 370 TOD clock overflows. One source lists this as the 18th (?)

2044: January 1: MS-DOS: 2^6 years from 1980, setting the most significant bit (MSB). Signed variables using this get a negative date.

2046: January 1: Amiga system date failure

2046: June 8: Some Unix password aging fails; 62^2 weeks from 1970.

2049: December 31: Microsoft Project 95 limit.

2080: January 1: MS-DOS file dates, displayed with two-digit years, become ambiguous.

2100: Y2.1K; most current PC BIOSes run out of dates; MS-DOS <DIR> renders the file-date years 2100 through 2107 as 99.

2100: February 28: last day of February - NOT a leap year

2106: February 7: Unix: 2^32 seconds from Jan 1, 1970; time overflows at 06:28:16.

9999: HTTP caching fails.

10000: January 1: Y10K!! Four-digit years fail. More time will elapse between the time this document was written and this date than has elapsed from the beginning of modern human civilization until now.

29602: January 1: MS Windows NT File Systems (NTFS) fails.

29940: New Macs' signed 64-bit time fails (has been OK since 30,081 B.C.!!)
