Time and formats

Remember the debate over the beginning of the millenium and how all the party organisers got it wrong.

Well, here is a smaller, even simpler but similar error.

In fact, there has to be at least 72 (or possibly even 144) different instants that will fulfill this textual pattern (or an essentially similar one)

Tech Geek Squeee!!!!!

I've just discovered www.mobical.net which is a neat free SyncML server out there in the big bad Inet.
And it took me about 15 minutes to register (free), wait for the SMS with my password and configuration, and synchronise my phone (the neat new Nokia 6260 that I bought a month or so ago).

Now all my phone contacts are available to me anywhere I have a browser, plus my Calendar (though the recurrance function is a little dumb) and public Notes.

Squeeeeee!!! It's looking more and more likely that I won't be replacing the old PalmPilot and this phone will do 90% of what the Palm could (I can even get an eBook reader for it)
