Sounds like there were an awful lot of families who scurried to get those tax deductions in over the years! There are an incredible number of birthdays for SMC members today!

I'm glad you posted something about that Jim......when I came on earlier this morning, that was the first thing I noticed but thought it was perhaps a computer glitch. Even stranger is that there are a whopping 37 that are turning 36 today!! Makes me wonder whether they was a massive power outage the last day of March 1969?? You could be right about the income tax deductions or many might have been trying for the New Years Baby. Either way.........Happy Birthday All!
Looks like we've zeroed in on the SMC "core demographic".
I can't remember the details but I think it is a Unix issue. Those who left their age blank will default to either todays date or tomorrow. I remember last year we had a simular event.
Jim, pointed out the same question last year. Look at the similar threads.
DUH...like I would remember that. I suffer from CRS and it's gotten worse lately...Originally Posted by Matt Meiser

Matt took the words out of my...uh....the words off my finger tips
and if I am not mistaken, Keith gave the same answer last year.
Happy New Year

Yup....Keith is correct. Unix Epoch time....Birthday left blank? You get the default as per the Unix Operating System.
Thanks & Happy Wood Chips,

(slaps forehead) Oh, duh..."second minus-one" of the Unix epoch: 11:59:59 12/31/1969.Originally Posted by Keith Outten
Could be worse, could be unsigned, giving you the 32-bit rollover date, sometime in 2039, IIRC.
(And no, I have no idea when it happens using 64 bits.)

Default of 01/01/1970 minus GMT timezone adjustment.
So.. That makes 1/1/1970 -0500 hours for EST folks, making it 12/31/1969, 7pm.

Lee, in real computers, spelled IBM Mainframe, the internal TOD clock is a 64 bit register. Bit 54(or 56?) is 1.01 seconds, and yes it will roll over some time after 2030. Year 2000 panic, here we go againOriginally Posted by Lee DeRaud
