I love the pc speaker so much...

That I sneak into the University labs and install programs to play MIDI music versions of "Never Gonna Give You Up" when people log in. (pam_rickroll.so I love you so...) I think thats much better than a white-noise generator anyday.

Interesting Date Coming Up

Ok I haven't posted for a while.. been rather depressed and dealing with stuff at work still due my boss's death. I am starting to get past that and working on a couple of possible software projects.. depending on how much time I have. But more important, I saw that one of those weird dates in a life of a geek is coming up on February 13/14 (depending on where you are in the world).

[smooge@nausicaa ~]$ date -d @1234567890
Fri Feb 13 16:31:30 MST 2009

And in case you are wondering when the last long string like that occurred?

Now the interesting question is? What strange things will occur on some systems somewhere when that second occurs... I mean this could be this years Y2K :).
