RE: *ping*
:Very quiet. Very boring (which is good, in this case).
We had a "y2k bug." Yep, a very important one. The date on our
main web site, generated by a perl script from Matt's Script Archive,
rolled over to the year 19100. :-)
Of course, the $Year variable was being set by saying "if ($Year > 95)
{ print '19$Year' };", and for whatever reason it was rolling 99 to
100. My quick fix was to change $Year to gnu date. Then we promptly
went back to watching the fireworks show over Lake Michigan and drinking
champagne.
