It actually gave us a bit of levity in the middle of a day-long meeting. We were in a government vault, but fortunately had internet access, so I was able to recover without too much effort. The e-mail was more to give Eli a hard time than anything else. <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 2:28 PM, Robby Findler <<a href="mailto:robby@eecs.northwestern.edu">robby@eecs.northwestern.edu</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Sorry, Doug. I'll lay off the date-sensitive easter eggs from now on. :( I believe these are all of the the special days: 3/2 3/26 4/8 6/11 7/2 7/30 10/29 10/31 11/1 12/25 Eli: does it make sense to add something that could test this stuff on a nightly basis (ie set the date to the dates listed above and try to start up drscheme)?
