Happy 123456789 Day!

Dude lighten up! It's a slow Friday and computer geeks enjoy little nuances like this for what they are - nuances. Kinda like palindromic dates.

lol. I know chief. That's why I stuck a smilie smilie on the end of my line(ie)!
Let me tell you. If I happen to look at my G-Shock and it's 11:11.02, I wait 9 seconds for that moment of glory. Same with 12:34.56. Or any other variation on this theme. Sad though it is. I get off on this kind of thing.
So, in order to seem a little less sad, I try to distance myself from it, pretending that I have better things to do. Which is only occasionally true.
And, for what it's worth, I was in the car listening to some chick on the radio doing a countdown to the 56 seconds and I was thinking "what the fuck is she going on about?". Only afterwards did the full enormity of my ignorance hit me. I am a true monkey. I honestly thought about setting my watch incorrectly to put right my misfortune. I am devastated. But don't tell anyone.

Yet you had the time to post that you had a life in a comments section of a technology news site?
I was sleeping at the time. I was more excited when the Unix timestamp read a similar thing recently.
