Happy Programmer's Day
-
Party time. I think I will leave at noon. The Wikipedia does have an error saying if you start with 0 then it is the 14th or 13th. In that case the 256th number is 255, which is still 13th or 12th. Ok I guess I have been losing my sence of humor. Good thing that vacation does start today at noon :)
Ah! Now that sounds like a true programmer's day. Where we argue about what day it actually falls on and it turns into two days: one for zero-based and one for one-based. Instead of celebrating we spend most of the time mudslinging.

Programmer's day is a "holiday" on the 256th day of the year celebrated mostly by computer programmers (reason: 256 = 2 to the power of 8 = the number of values representable in a byte of data). Traditions include drinking, behaving silly, coding silly programs, mini computer games, playing with old computers, etc. That, of course, includes the condition that the developer who chooses to celebrate, needs to have done decent coding on all the other days and had tried the best not to behave silly on the other days. For those programmers who are used to the 'celebrations' in their every day lives, this 'holiday' becomes unjustified! Programmer's day usually falls on September 13th; on leap years, it is September 12th. Source: Wikipedia Programmer's day[^]

Hey, I was born on this day. So does that mean I'm the one, as in "The One". Wow, it all makes sense now. I was sent as a programmar to set humanity free.

More like you were sent as a silly programmer;P

I would have enjoyed a day off but I was too busy getting ready for Y3K which takes up all my spare time. It's only 362,919 days away and I want to be ready. :laugh:

the one-based day is for the VB programmers. The rest of us get the other one.

Aha as Luck would have it I had the day off yesterday!!! Where I did indulge in some of the activities!! I did play some games, Played with an old laptop, and then went down the pub with a friend of mine in the afternoon!! Where I did drink particularly heavy fro me anyway!! and I fell asleep for the day before sunset!! I must make a note to do this again next, although I think I will leave the heavy drinking part out as I feel rough as badgers daria this morning!! I suppose 5 pints of guiness and 3 double vodka red bulls would do that to man!!!

VB is also 0 based. It is however so sophisticated :doh: that it has the option to set a program to work 1 based... So the discussion about what day is the right one keeps on going :laugh:
