Blog2004 ≫ Slow day

Doing some work on 2038 compliance, I've been storing dates in the database as UNIX timestamps and the size of the integer on the machine I'm doing it on means that any date beyond 2038 messes things up... not usually a problem, but sorting it anyway as I have a NEW FEATURE on the calendar system I made - repeating events! Oh yes, this is going to be nearly as good as a cheap off the shelf package by the time I'm finished... I am hoping my own birthday will be an event that will keep repeating beyond 2038...

MJ Hibbett and the Validators1 tonight at the 12 Bar2, and we might go to the Punjab3 beforehand...
