Y2K+38

Any geek old enough to code his own application may remember 6 years ago today was the day we all hoped and prayed that our applications would make it thru Y2K. In preparing for Y2K+38, Bob Amam has done some testing of the Atom format and the handling of far-off dates in the RSS readers. NetNewsWire won! I might wait 3 decades before I file a bug report :-)

Heh, it's "Aman." :-) It's not so much an issue with feeds as it is an issue with computer programs in general. Every program that stores dates as a time_t structure is going to fall victim to this bug. That's a lot of programs, but since I deal with feeds, I thought I'd bring up the issue in that arena.
