Happy New Year

4015-1

Remember the Millennium? Those were good times. I miss that giant Cup Noodle though.

Best to you all for the year.

    Of course, technically, the new millennium didn’t start until January 1st, 2001 (unless you include the non-existant “Year Zero”).

    Wait, does that mean it went 2BC, 1BC, 1AD, 2AD, etc.??? surely there was a year 0 in between?

    All my conceptions of time are falling about around me!

    and I so hoped that all the computers in the world were going to crash all at once, everyone was so panic striken; it’s kind of funny now.

    “Of course, technically, the new millennium didn’t start until January 1st, 2001 (unless you include the non-existant “Year Zero”).”

    But that’s what Doc Brown set the Delorean to to see the birth of Christ. Back to the Future is right about everything (even Jiggawats).

    Mark- The Coke billboard is over the photographer’s right shoulder, I think. Don’t forget to kneel before Zod!

    No, no… the Y2K thing was predicated on computer clocks. So either stuff goes wrong at 7 AM 12/31/99 (New Zealand = Midnight), or everyone buys the farm at 7 PM (GMT = Midnight). Of course, I’m certain that most IT personnel ran simulations well before then, but I was not going to panic until necessary.

    Now, I’d love to see a movie where everyone panics about 01/01/00, breathes a collective sigh of release when nothing happens, then have all hell break loose on 12/31/00 when the ACTUAL Millennium occurs.

    Hmmm… what if someone launched a virus on 010100 which did not activate until 111111?

    What I love about Times Square is that one can date photos from all the advertisements in the background!
