freaky, looks like my dhcp lease / networking was working funny because apparently (sometime today probably) the year got set to the year 2019. chameleon clock (sweet program, definitely worth the $15 it cost to register a few years ago) let me know a couple minutes ago that my time was off by a hair under 6939 days. as young william miller said, “that explains so much.”

tangent: check out the stillwater web site (it’s been up for months and months) – oh wait, it’s not half as cool as it used to be. nm
