Countdown timer

Discussion in 'Tilted Life and Sexuality' started by cynthetiq, Aug 9, 2011.


  1. I like this idea, truly universal. Use the countdown timer for astronmical events. Spring/fall equinox. Throw in the ETA of a predicted comet impact when appropriate.... whatever else.

    Which time zone? Astronomers tend to use UTC.

    Anyone anticipating any major life events within the next several months? Upcoming nuptials, retirement, graduation, new job, relocation, etc.?

    Or is there another apocalypse prediction forthcoming that we need to keep an eye on?

    I set the countdown timer in the interest of having it be not zero anymore, since @cynthetiq doesn't seem to care.

    I'm open to suggestions for other dates or events. As long as they aren't lame.

    Again I suggest the first day of spring, which is in 33 days. (Bonus: It won't tie up the clock for long.)

    You're a Canadian not living on the Pacific coast. You can't call that lame.

    Fun fact: the countdown clock is (apparently) set to GMT. This is distinct from the server itself which is set to EST because I live in EST and nobody else ever sees it anyway.

    I know, right?

    It's so ripe with libidinous verve. It makes me want to fuck something.

    Springtime...when the hormones surge...

    Personally, I don't need any more...but perhaps if I can get a few ladies to join me in celebration. :D

    Too bad it isn't the Venal Equinox. We might be able to "convince" it to come early.
