3000 days!
My website is 3000 days old today 1. Wahey!
I only know that because of the “osgav epoch” thing I added to my blog post archive page a few years ago 2. In a more normal way of counting, it is the fairly insignificant age of 8 years and 2 months and 18 days old. But that’s boring. 3000 days is much more fun.
I had a vague recollection of what inspired this osgav epoch thing so I’ve just gone and dug up the source of that: https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/arvelie.html 3
Arvelie is definitely more obscure than counting up from zero. I like the result though. I remember wondering what the codes were the first time I browsed that website, and then eventually finding an explanation for them. Clearly I was very taken by it and came up with a simple imitation, which I have grown very fond of. Maybe I’ll try and add Arvelie to osgav.run some day? Maybe not? If I do, one thing is for sure though: the osgav epoch will be right there next to it.
Anyway, here’s to the next +1000! By which time osgav.run will be… well it’ll be osgav epoch 4000 of course.
