Dear TC6 members,
Please do your best to circulate the electronic version of the
Networking 2000 program sent by Guy Pujolle.

Hi folks,
here comes quite another story:
Tomorrow (or even today in Australia) will be a very very very special day:
February 2, 2000 (i.e. 2.2.2000) is be the first day with only even
digits (in the decimal number notation)
since 28.8.888, i.e. since more than 1111 years (!!!).
By the way:
Probably we did not pay enough attention to the fact that the
most recent day with only odd digits was 19.11.1999
and the next day with that property will be either
1.1.3111 (or even 11.11.3111) depending on whether you have one or
two digits for "day" and "month". Interestingly enough, the distance
between those days is also more than 1111 years.
TC6 as a committee with an even number should commemorate
the "all-even-digit-day" more than the other one.
Best regards
Otto

This is obvious since you have (at least) to change every digit of the date
to switch from an all-even to an all-odd date (and conversely), that is
1111 years.
Then there is necessarily a date close to it (less than one year) that has
the property.

For the same reason...

I'm afraid, my WG cannot join you because it has an odd digit in it.
Unfortunately, it has also an even digit, so that I've no chance to
commemorate any such thing before the end of time (or the end of IFIP which
is obviously earlier).
Best regards,
Guy
