Datapacrat, once more. #2692. Anonymous 03-24-2005 at 05:25:20 PM
We all know that time-travel can be tricky when calendar systems
change; switching from Julian to Gregorian was bad enough, but there
are leap-seconds, "there is no year 0", and other annoyances, even
without jumping to Hebrew, Islamic, Chinese, or less well-known dating
systems. And so, for all you prospective time-travellers, I offer this
possibility for thought: Instead of worrying about all of the above,
simply count the number of seconds from a well-defined reference point
- let us say, the first man-made nuclear blast at Trinity.
Also, I'm attaching a few oddly standard time periods; I checked with
Google, and it seems I'm the first person to ever write 'exaweek'
online.

Thank you for your time, DataPacRat
************************************************
I wanted to share this again because it is the sort of thing that puts me in a Time Mood where I can (try and) think far-out stuff. Like that post awhile back which I've got to get back to and make more sensible. Also, Daniel* mentioned that he was the only person in electrons to use the word "exaweek." I searched Google, and he still was.** Of course, I always have to correct Google: NO, Google, MINUS -"exam week". Wish they would personalize their fancy schmancy algorithms a little more, short of draining my life energy and stealing everything I have, that is, e.g., Rick wants exactly what he typed, nothing more or less. Oh, they're evil all right; they just think we're too dumb to realize it yet. Rick
* after all that, one more mention of the credit: Daniel Boese, Datapacrat
** There are 904 now!
