december 31, 1969

does this date mean anything to anyone? i just got a wordless message from a nameless person on another site and it said they left me the message on this date at 5 pm. i think its a sign.. but i don't know what of.

 

new years eve eh?

 

of 1969.... notice i wasn't born yet and computers didn't exist then

 

It is a sign that the UNIX timestamp command is not working correctly.

 

no its an omen

 

It's my mother's 8th birthday.

 

Feel free to believe what you want, but it is a pretty common error.
I have seen that before on more sites.

 

yeah but what if it says its no one and the site is saying there's no comment there and there are no words...

 

As I said before, it means that there was an error at that time (pun intended).

 

bird you're boring. don't you think even mistakes can mean things? i want a meaning to the date

 

The meaning is that the timestamp command does not go further back than that date.
For all we care they could have programmed it to be august 24, 1844 or februari 6, 1203.

 

After ressetting the power manager on close to 650 MLTI iBooks, every one has reset to December 31, 1969.

 

what? i don't understand...

 

maryfairy you have 1000 posts

 

Whoah... I once received a PM just like that on this site.

 

This is three days after my sister was born.

 

oh YAY! i was waiting for this to happen!

 

It was the last day of the sixties. Considering this is a hippie website that makes it a significant date.

 

yeah, but it wasn't on this website or even a hippie one... but maybe it was to tell me that "the past is in the past and all good things must end"

 

or if you want to be optomistic about it, you could interpret the date as a reminder of what we should look to if we want to remind ourselves find ourselves again.
