Subject: [PLUG] Party to celebrate 10^9 seconds of UNIX?


Hi, 

I checked the PLUG calendar and the list archives and I didn't see mention
of
any local commemoration for the upcoming 1 billion second milestone for
UNIX.
(UNIX keeps track of time as a number of seconds since midnight 1 January
1970
and right now the number is at about 999015500 and rising). 

According to, "date -d '1970-01-01 1000000000 sec'", the milestone will be
reached Sun Sep 9 02:46:40 EDT 2001. A quick search on the web showed that
some
other LUGs will be having a party that night so I was wondering if anyone in
Philly was interested in a party as well.
