On October 18th 2001 I made two posts here. One where I said I was going to bed, and one afterwards where I said I had stayed up to do some work on this site. The first of those posts has the time stamp 17:00 and the second has 19:43. Now, while I don't think I'd be going to bed at 19:43 or 17:00, I think there was a fuckup in the server time zones somewhere over the last many years that caused this. Its highly likely that I wouldn't have programmed in time zone compensation at the beginning of this blog, and that's where the time discrepancy came from. That's not a bug anymore, so its ok.
However, the first of those posts was done at 17:00. Every other post before that, right to the beginning of when I started this blog has a time stamp of 17:00. The thing that I changed shouldn't have caused the dates to mess up, but it seems to have done exactly that. Bizarre, and strange, and this bug has hit the record for me for the longest time to find : Seven years, seven months, ten days. Awesome!
