For a short while in the wee small hours of this morning, the US Naval Observatory was reporting the year as 19100. This is exactly 19 millennia after Peter Johnstone's distinctly post-Boadicean message on continued fractions, whose dateline reads Date: Sat, 1 Jan 100 11:37:15 +0000 (GMT) Granted the point of Y2K compliance was to avoid rolling back to the year 1900 by carrying a 1 into the hundreds position, but in hindsight that can be taken in various ways.
