Virtual Lunchtime Vacation

Here's a fun thing to do when winter gets you down.
How about a virtual vacation?
I was trying out Google Maps Streetview at lunchtime.
I was cruising down Atlantic avenue in Key West Florida.
I saw a small Kiosk at the side of the street that said "Nature Preserve."
So I Googled "Nature Preserve Atlantic avenue Key West" and found a Blog with enough pictures to tour around inside.
Just enough sunshine to improve my winter Mood :)
OK now I'm ready for spring!

Systems may Experience 95 Year Time Jumps

I received a very strange SunAlert Email today
One entry on the list explains a lot of strange entries I've been seeing in historical documents for 1914 on Wikipedia.
Better patch those systems before history starts changing!

1914 Yikes! Is that A V240 I see behind the Archduke Ferdinand?

"This jump will also be reflected in system and application logfiles and database records."
For example:

$ tail -3 /var/cron/log

CMD: [ -x /usr/lib/gss/gsscred_clean ] && /usr/lib/gss/gsscred_clean

root 10996 c Tue Apr 28 03:30:00 1914    

root 10996 c Tue Apr 28 03:30:00 1914
