But that's not set in stone.

There are some earlier dates.
Whenever we finally run out of IPV4 addresses (assuming we have not actually iplemented IPV6 yet). IANA is out, Asia Pacific is out, and Europe is out. North America and South America run out sometime in 2014 (2 different dates). Africa runs out in 5 to 10 years.

When the MSDOS date time rolls.
When the Unix date time rolls.

Oh dear, I really really shouldn't do this, but it's the end of the world, so what the heck.

Q. How can you tell Irish computer users?
A. They are the ones with tipp-ex on their screen.

Before I could get the joke, I had to do a Goodsearch on Tipp-ex.....LOL.
They call the stuff White-Out over on this side of the pond.

And it looks like I'll be here at home with the kitties to watch events unfold.
Because they shut down the fire truck factory due to the snowstorm.
I cleared out my driveway and hopped in the car and went to work.
When I got there, the employee parking lot had only about a half dozen cars in it. I thought....geez, this is Wisconsin, has everybody turned chicken??

Went inside and up to the offices, and the production manager said that Oshkosh, our parent company about 20 miles to our south, had made the call and shut everything down for the night about 2 hours earlier. They were getting hit even harder than we were with the snow. There were only about 6 of us left in the plant.
Guess I wuz the only one that didn't get the news....LOL.

So, I went over and shoveled Lori's driveway so she could get into her garage when she gets home from work instead. And her wonderful neighbors saw me struggling with it and lent a hand. They have been most wonderful to her since her chemo battle began, and I thanked them both profusely.

So, I guess if it all ends tonight, the last personal contact I had with my fellow Earthlings was a very nice one.

Just spoken to my cousin in Sydney, Oz, and he says the world is still ok there at 09:00 21/Dec/2012

Peace on earth from us to you Mark :-)

And most assuredly back to you as well, my dear friend Chris.

Meowsigh.....It's the end of the world.

'Sall right, folks. Don't fear the reaper.

Ahh...
Some proper music to listen to whilst all erupts around us.

It's 14:50 long, so to time it properly with the final event, you would probably want to start in in about 45 minutes to coordinate with the UTC turnover.

This should send us off in fine style... Best recording ever of the opus, in my opinion.

Get ready, folks.

One minute until UTC turns over.......

EDIT...
Well, the fact that I can still edit this means I have not evaporated or raptured yet.

Well of course the end is supposed to be the exact time of the winter solstice. Which is 11:12am UTC, so sorry still 11 hours to go!!

I suspect at that exact moment in time, I shall be sleeping peacefully in bed with my kitties.
And, if I have to go, I could not choose a better time and place.

Meow.

Oh gawd, does that mean I just got pissed for nothing?

Up or off??

Neither actually, a bit in between ....

Rather happy-arsed myself at the moment...LOL.
