Site problems

posted in Site News by swampgas on Sep 8th, 2001

You may experience some site interruptions tomorrow...the way the server stores the time is in seconds since January 1st, 1970. It's rolling over to 1 billion seconds tomorrow night (for US people) and I store the dates in the database as text strings rather than a big number. Some only have 9 characters...and 1 billion has 10 characters. Our own little Y2k+1 bug...
