Ben - who has written 400 posts on Troll in the Corner.
I'm a geek. A nerd, a dweeb, whatever. Yes I owned garb, yes I still own medieval weaponry. And yeah, I could kick your butt in Mechwarrior the CCG. I love video games, role playing games, tactical board games and all forms of speculative fiction. I will never berate someone for wanting to be a Jedi and take everything Gary Gygax ever wrote as gospel. Well, all of this but that last bit.
As of the publishing of this article, the time on the East Coast is now 04:05:06 and the date is 07/08/09. This won’t happen again for quite some time, unles you format your dates in the more elegant European style, with month/day/year rather than day/month/year. If you do that, this will happen again at 04:05:06 on August 7th, 2009 (07/08/09).

What about 09/10/11 12:13:14 (YY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS)?

Woah – that’s like . . . months ahead. I can’t plan that far. :)
Actually that’s a neat one too. I always find this stuff interesting because people tend to make a big deal out of it when in reality, they’re just arbitrary dates on a calendar we created.

Isn’t it just a year away for another instance like this?
05:06:07 08/09/10. That doesn’t seem like “quite some time.” But I guess that’s relative. And how about in two hours: 12:34:56 7/8/09

Depending on how you look at it, it’s a year away. Or a month away if you do your dates dd/mm/yy.
I got about 15 forwards from different friends and family touting the fact that this was coming like some non-millennial millennial madness. My point is. . . it’s just a date. :)
