1234567890 day this friday
This Friday February 13th, 2009 will not only be a called Friday the 13th, but apparently also known as 1234567890 day in the geek world. On Friday February 13th, 2009 at exactly 23:31:30 (11:31PM 30 seconds in), it would be 1234567890 on the time stamp. Meaning at that moment exactly 1234567890 seconds have passed since January 1st, 1970.
I think it’s pretty cool. Apparently people in the West Coast are planning to celebrate it. I found this on digg and though I’d blog it too. :p
IE Issue resolved
There was an issue which only affected IE apparently that caused the thickbox to activate prematurely causing it to be black on the top half of the page. The issue only affected Internet Explorer user which I do not use anymore, hence I had no idea there was even one until someone told me. lol
The issue has since been resolved! Maybe next time I’ll test it with Internet Explorer as well. I mainly use either Mozilla FIrefox or Google Chrome and occasionally Safari. I have long since stopped using Internet Explorer and do no plan on going back. I recommend people switching away from Internet Explorer for a better browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. Mac users should use either Firefox or Safari, Internet Explorer is not available to Mac users so that isn’t an issue.
Battlestar Galactica!
Just finished watching the new episode of Battlestar Galactica. Epic doesn’t even start to describe how epic the episode was. lol
Section below contains spoilers
It starts off with Geata in control of Galactica and Adama and Saul are trapped in the hanger bay door with a granade just thrown in by one of the marines. They can never seem to keep Adama captured for long it would seem, he always seems to find a way to get his ass out of trouble and back in control again. By the end of the episode the Vice President and Geata are the ones lined up for execution instead of Adama and Adama is back in control of the fleet. The coup ended up failing I suppose, but a lot of people died in the process. They killed all the leader of the colonies! Besides the president of course who went hiding in the Cylon baseship.
Overall the episode was fanfrakingtastic. Looking forward till next weeks episode. Haven’t looked at the previews for next episode, hopefully it will be just as awesome as most of the other episodes air so far. The series is a great series for any Sci-Fi fans or simply anyone. Everyone should watch it, at least thats my opinion.
Still can’t believe Battlestar Galactica is finishing up the series. Oh well. They’re making Caprica, which looks weird. So far from what I’ve read about Caprica the series is that the story is set I believe years before the colonies got destroyed by the Cylon fleet. We’ll see how things go when they air it or release more information, or I read up on the most updated information about it (if there are any).
