I’m home today, will be here more or less continuously until 6 or 7 Jan. I’ll probably make a day trip up to San Jose and a day-or-two trip down to Orange County to visit friends, both girl- and otherwise. That will probably go down after Xmasish.

I fly back on the evening of the 22nd. I’m home until the 13th, but I’ll be in St. Louis from the 26th to the 1st.

Have fun with that KG.
I’ll be back on late late late Sunday night or early early early Monday morning the 17th/18th. I’ll be leaving again on the 19th at around 8p.m.
After Christmas (the 27th to be exact) I’ll be back for around a week, then I’m back down here for work come January.

On a side note, why are we using the European standard date format for our Message of the Day? I can deal with you guys wanting to go Metric, but at least have the decency to leave me with my American date format… (or, as some British website I read called it, the Fred Flintstone Format… stupid brits…).

That way’s better too. It makes more sense to have the units of time in order of size.

I prefer the Chinese way which has the order the other direction: year/month/day. That way we get to keep the month/day that we’re used to *and* make some degree of sense. :-D
Anyway, I’m back late the 19th, and come back to MIT the 7th. I might have to bump the ticket up to the 2nd, though, depending on something in my Chinese class.

YYYY/MM/DD is the International Standard. I think that’s annoying cause its the ONLY way you will probably never say the actual date. The U.S. standard is how I usually say it, but the European isn’t too bad, except when you’re expecting to read the U.S.
Also, I think it makes more sense to put it in the order you will say it rather than simply on a descending order.
Either way, thanks for clarifying it Joe.

I’m convinced with YYYY/MM/DD, which of course can be abbreviated to MM/DD. I’m all for doing things the American way as long as they make sense.

But… the U.S. makes sense if that’s how you were taught to say the date.
