A rare moment in history is passing you by... What were you doing?

A very rare moment in history is passing you by --- the time is: 01 02 03 04 05 06.... that is the current time is:  01:02:03 04/05/06

 

To mark this otherwise forgettable occasion, I’d love to find out what you were doing at exactly this time... please comment here

I'm sleeping :)

Cool!

I was building a solution for some IBM labirinth problem. It was a test task for vacancy, but I have no time to complete it at a daylight time, so I had to do it at night.

By the way, I detected some other numeric historical moment. It was 20:02 20.02.2002 — February, 20 by our local regional settings. I realized it when I was going home and I called my wife immediately. Fun moment to share with someone!

I was eating lunch in a bar - hot wings to be exact

I was in a conference call discussing a huge security hole I found in a "framework" built by another team a couple years ago.
# Oleg Mihailik said on April 5, 2006 4:39 PM:
Matt, but 01:02:03 is a night time, isn't it?
# El Pato said on April 5, 2006 4:47 PM:
Sleeping, because I didn't remember what day it was.
# Chris said on April 5, 2006 5:09 PM:
The english use a better date system of day/month/year so 4/5/06 is actually next month :)
# Dan said on April 5, 2006 5:23 PM:
PM is 13:02, AM is 01:02.  So sleeping.  Interesting those that eat lunch so early in the morning.

This event occurred twice on the same day; once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

Deleting this blog.
# Eric Newton said on April 5, 2006 5:43 PM:
Erik, you're such a stick in the mud.

I'm with the english guy... lets celebrate again next month... a round at the pub for all?

I just noticed Google Reader and tried it out by picking a random feed. That's when I read this post. And I have to say, it's a lot better than Bloglines. . .

Reading the framework design library book.
# Dave McMahon said on April 5, 2006 6:06 PM:
I can't figure out what the time was here (UK) when you figured it out Brad, so I'll stick with the other Brits and wait until May ...  Good spot though!
# Buz said on April 5, 2006 6:10 PM:
French people use the same dd/mm/yy system as the english, so 04/05/06 is a month away for me.

But, according international (?) standard (?) of time representation, shouldn't we consider "yy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss" instead ?

. either 06/07/08 09:10:11 (hopefully this will be a sunny saturday holiday morning, maybe sleeping or just waking up, who knows ?),
. or 06/05/04 03:02:01 (probably sleeping, having nightmares with plenty of little 400-errors-on-a-w2k3-box goblins).

(obviously, there is the quite simple -and evil- 6/6/6 6:6:6)
# Raul Igrisan said on April 5, 2006 7:01 PM:
it's also a month away for me.

reading "Test-Driven Development in Microsoft .NET" (yeahh, I know I should have read it already ;) ...

i used to dig these coincidences when i was little. then i learned that no moment is special. now i know every instant is special and should be treasured

I'd just started watching the film Hostel at the cinema.  It's garbage.
# Eber Irigoyen said on April 5, 2006 7:21 PM:

I was redeploying The Hive, now running the latest Community Server 2.0 bits.
# Fredrik said on April 6, 2006 2:55 AM:
Unfortunately, the only really international standard for displaying date and time information (which happens to be the same format that is used in Sweden) does not allow for such cool occations. Not in a near future anyway... (http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/iso-date).

Regarding the question; sleeping (in my local time), but when it happened to you I was building the client-side communications on an older release of the .Net framework.

On the 4th of May at that time I'll probably be tearing my hair out over some bug in Whidbey... :)

I am from a different timezone and we use DD/MM/YY  format! So, I guess I will need to wait out for couple of months before  my clock shows a similar string :P

# Paul said on April 6, 2006 6:20 AM:

It is month away for us here in Iceland.

But at the time in question (my timezone) I was working on my hobby. Puting photos I took on the web.  If anyone wants to take a look then the url is  www.flickr.com/photos/findgoggi
# Will Sullivan said on April 6, 2006 9:23 AM:
Let's see... At 010203040506 (THE EVENT) GMT, I was at home, and just did the "happy 010203040506" with the GF.  At THE EVENT, EST (AM), I was asleep.  And at THE EVENT, EST (PM), I was in a meeting and my damn phone was charging at my desk, so I completely missed my alarm.  Damnit.
