The latest report is NIST had a [maybe Y2K] problem with their internal system to coordinate the servers. When the NTP servers lost contact with the clock source, they became unsynchronized. Many clients won't synchronize to a server with an unsynchronized clock. That doesn't completely explain why www.time.gov is not available. ------- End of forwarded message -------

Yes, I knew it was a faked. At first I believed it until I actually telnetted to port 80 and did a get and saw the HTTP/1.0 200 OK, the date, and the Last-Modified date.

So far, caffeine seems Y2K compliant. 50 hours so far and I'm not the least bit paranoid, though after the 30th pot or so I decided that Mylanta makes a better creamer than skim milk. *sound of door closing* WHAT THE *#$& WAS THAT!?

Customers down?
by Alex Rubenstein 01 Jan '00

01 Jan '00

Since 8am, we've seen a rising amount of customers going down. It's been attributed to them turninf off thier equipment. The local Bell Atlantic DSC claims that 'hundreds, maybe thousands of circuits are down,' mostly due to customers turning stuff off. Everyone else seeing this?

Only Y2K Casuality...
by Russell Van Tassell 01 Jan '00

01 Jan '00

Ok... pretty much as I think everyone here figured, no "serious" problems for the Y2K rollover -- biggest problem are/were the panicing morons... (I particularly enjoyed the lack of red meat and chicken in the store the other day, but no similiar problem for charcoal or any other "alternative" cooking supplies). So far the only thing that's of any consequence that I've noticed isn't working quite-right: my SkyTel Pager... *laugh* Anyone else? Ok... time to finish off the bottle of Dom...
