I recently noted the passing of my18,000 birthday. I celebrate my birthdays daily. why not?
It just sort of occured to me as a fun exercise in “fast math”.
I figured, if I was 100 years old, that would be 36500 days, plus 25 leap days. so on my 50th, that would be 18262 days.
so about 8 months prior to July 2006, that would mean 18000 days should some time in november of this year. huh.
I checked it using emacs calc, which can do math on calendars. its damn smart, and even includes the leap day calculation.
like this:
alg’ <Fri Dec 2, 2005>
alg’ <Sun Jul 29, 1956>
– 18023
alg’ <Fri Dec 2, 2005>
23
– <Wed Nov 9, 2005>
that’s the kind of thing that interests me. ok, I’m weird.
