Something is happening. I'm a noob, but I'm being sucked in. I sit up all hours of the night, watching my tasks, updating every chance I get. I pour over the stats. I'm about to experience a manic episode. I am losing hope. I am turning into uebergeek....

:confused:

That's ok. I just whipped up an Excel spreadsheet that calculates how old somebody is, down to the second, if you supply your date and time of birth. To top it off, I wrote a VBA script to have it auto-calculate every second so you can watch yourself age one second at a time. It displays your age in years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. I am 911,272,850 seconds old. Or was, when I typed that number.

I did all that just because I was bored.

I'm a ubergeek too.

Welcome to the number fan club. Numbers got me years ago when I was a small child. At the age of 2-4 my favorite toy was a ~800 page book where I'd count the pages. For extra geek factor, it was a CRC Handbook (chemistry data) and I'd look for the page number on each page within the chemistry data.

At age 4-8 I remember fondly waiting for an event (birthday, vacation, whatever) with a calculator days or weeks in advance. I'd calculate the seconds until the event started. Then I'd play a calculator game where I'd subtract the largest repeating number from that time in seconds. For example, from the number 89141146, I'd subtract off 111 as there were three ones and that is the largest repeating number. I'd get 89141035. Next I'd subtract 11 as that is the next largest repeating number. Do this for a couple hours until it reaches zero. Now you are a couple hours closer to the event that you couldn't wait to happen.

I could go on and on, but I have Excel work to get to.

.....As I reached my hand into her shirt, I quickly unfastened her bra with the click of my fingers in one attempt. The bra popped open and her full breasts spilled out of the garment and....oohh wait, we're talking about numbers. Sorry to bring up a topic you guys wouldn't understand.

Hmmm...I'm sure this means something, but I've been up for days. I'm hallucinating sounds. It's hard to pay attention long enough to read the whole paragraph... and yet, we all seem equally wierd.

Sweet. How did you account for leap seconds?
:D
