there are five posts in a row on my friendslist about this.

of course as a good sysadmin i shutdown -r now just to make sure everyone was paying attention. i missed nailing it on the shutdown timestamp by 3 seconds. I FAIL.

Same question.

Something like 0x12345678, 0x456789ab, or 0x3fffffff would be much more interesting.

Yup, and the Vancouver event was pretty well attended, despite only one days notice, 50+ geeks descended on a pub in time to drink and have a countdown.
