Y2K is long gone, but...

Just wanted to blab about Facebook again. It seems that it is not immune to the Y2K problem.


On our home page, we see our friends' upcoming birthdays (2 or 3 days in advance, I think). Usually it is listed by date. But do you notice the difference this time? There are three birthdays on Thursday, then one today, then three more on Thursday. What happened? Did they just change their mind and list the people alphabetically?

Well, actually, no. The first three Thursdays are actually referring to the 1st of January 2009 (which was a Thursday), and the last three to the 31st of December 2009 (not that I needed to say that, I think...) So there you go, Facebook's Y2K problem. It'll probably be solved by 2010...
