I was checking the system date on my servers and accidentally typed in ddate and this popped up:
Today is Prickle-Prickle, the 45th day of Bureaucracy in the YOLD 3167

WTF is this and WTF does it mean. I found it quite humorous.

It may be an easter egg, joke code put in by some very odd programmer. We tend to do that a lot . I wouldn't concern myself with it, but if you are really annoyed, you can edit the kernel and take the code out...

I did a man ddate and what it is, is Linux converts the date to Gregarian time or something like that.

Did you know that "today is Boomtime, the 48th day of Bureaucracy in the YOLD 3167"?

Hehe - Thanks for running across that - it's kinda cute.

Indeed quite comical!

I'll have to try it! I want to find the code for it, so maybe I can mess around with it!

do a man ddate for info

[maxim]

Yeah, I did. Weird...

Bored programmers

[maxim]

a bored programmer? I can't say that I ever heard of one. Programming (to me) is very exciting! Especially when it's an easier language (excluding ANY microsoft languages), and you can build apps fast.

I was watching "Blind Date" last night (I'm sad, don't tell me!), and one of the guy's was a programmer. The other guy was a graphics designer.

A bored programmer is one who can do it all. There is not many challenges left for him so he starts to do stuff maybe. hell i don't know I am just babbling.

[maxim]

Can do it all...

...hmm, I'd like that. When you master C/C++, LISP, asm, PERL, and Python, maybe it's time to WRITE a language! Or better yet, an OS that relies on your language! Hard work, but if you like the guts of an OS, it's worth it!

Heh, programmers are strange people. Easter eggs are everywhere if you know where to look
