Glug Thursday occurs on Feb 29 only once in 56 years. Maybe we should celebrate this historic occasion. On 2/29/24 10:06 AM, Jonathan Haack wrote:

NMGLUGers, Just caught up with this interesting issue on the brief history of time: debian-takes-proactive-steps-to-address-y2k38 <https://linuxiac.com/debian-takes-proactive-steps-to-address-y2k38/> It seems as if January 1, 1970 will cause a counting error in 2038. An interesting thought, as many of us deal with time and counting and who can forget the Windows issue on Y2K? It was a fun night, New Year's Eve 1999-2000. I never had so many supervisors attending my midnight hours as on that night. A real "Night Manager" only has the power to declare when a property moves to the next day. (It's based on when all the bills are ready.) Luckily there was no system failure back then. Looks like people won't have to worry in 2038, but you never know. See you at Glug this week? There may be other reasons some of us are "marking time." Thank you, Ted P
