ml>> this is likely due to the fact that JAM stores the ml>> dates in unix format... that is, the number of ml>> seconds since the epoch... yes, this is the format ml>> that runs out of positive numbers in 2038 ;) SH> 31 more years of computing! ;) Then we're really screwed. haha, yep... unless someone comes up with a way of fixing things... i've thought about the (theoreticaly) simple task of changing the epoch as we reach the "end"... the calendar starts over every X years and exactly overlays a "template" that is X years long... there is a rhythm to it that i'm not able to pick up from my 1986 Reader's Digest Almanac but there is a pattern in the charts... unfortunately the charts go from 1776 to 2014 and i think the pattern is bigger than that... but, actually, it may be easier than i'm looking at... it could be that the pattern is twofold... twofold in that the regular years cycle thru in their rhythm and the leapyears have their own rhythm... it seems easy enough... i've got 7 normal year charts and 7 leapyear charts... i've already looked at the 68 year cycle and 136 year cycles and they get tossed out of sync on a leapyear each time... i know the pattern is in there and it is just a matter of time to locate it and then figure out how to apply it ;) )\/(ark* Origin: (1:3634/12) SEEN-BY: 633/267 5030/786 @PATH: 3634/12 123/500 379/1 633/267 |
