A special moment - 1234567890

Coming soon, a special moment in Unixtime. The Unix epoch is the time 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970.

Therefore, 1234567890 shall be the following times:

[gumby@fatso ~]$ TZ=Australia/Sydney date -r 1234567890
Sat Feb 14 10:31:30 EST 2009

[gumby@fatso ~]$ TZ=GMT date -r 1234567890
Fri Feb 13 23:31:30 GMT 2009

Which perhaps shall be a fortuitous day for geeks seeking romance in Australia. And maybe a day of caution for systems administrators west of the international date line... :)

I named this blog "moot" after the dictionary definitions, plus it included "moo" which is kinda the theme of mooh.org. :)

By 2001, we were gaining about 1,200 customers a month but losing 800. So we went to all 800 one month and asked why they left. Some customers said, "My mom won't let me use the credit card anymore." And I thought, This is our business?

Interesting to see the strategy is to tie online access into a cable subscription. I wonder what the trade off is in terms of piracy due to folks not wanting or not being able to subscribe, or living internationally.
