Tormod Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 According to our ancient records Turtle, our resident mathemagician, turns 103 today. I must say you don't look a year over 74, my friend. Keep up your excellent contributions to Hypography! :wave: Quote
nkt Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 103 :wave: That's old enough to be my son! Quote

Turtle Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 ___Thanks fellow Hypographians! :wave: Everyday that I don't wake up dead is my birthday. ;) I tried to enter my real birth year but the interface seems not to accept below 1902. ;) IrishEyes 1 Quote

I really enjoy your contributions, and love to read what you have to say, especially when you venture out of your usual 'math-cave'. :wave: Quote
Turtle Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 ___Thanks Irish! It should come as no surprise that I have you in mind during some of those forays. :wave: Is it you that keeps putting that lettuce out on the trail? ;) Quote

Chacmool Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 Happy birthday to our favourite critter in a shell! Thanks for all the great contributions, and especially for making maths so much fun! ;) Quote
niviene Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 Happy Birthday, Turtle. ;) Remember... the shell is half full, not half empty ;) Turtle 1 Quote
Dark Mind Posted July 13, 2005 Report Posted July 13, 2005 Imagine that, I managed to make it back here to Hypography on this, the day of Turtle's birth ;). Thanks for all the awesome contributions to the site and for always being around to answer our questions :). May you have another one hundred and three happy birthdays!!:D :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :D :D :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: Quote
Tormod Posted July 30, 2005 Author Report Posted July 30, 2005 I'll be damned...July 31st is ALSO Turtle's birthday. How many birthdays can one guy have? B) Quote
Turtle Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 ___The number of my births is indeterminate specifically, but equal to my number of deaths generally. The yet unanswered question is whether this is off by one specifically in the direction of positivity, or if you wish over unity.___Thanks for the cake anyway! B) I love cake & eating it too. :) Queso 1 Quote
Buffy Posted July 31, 2005 Report Posted July 31, 2005 Well we were off in the wilds for your first birthday, so I'm glad I'm back to wish you your second birthday of the month! I think birthdays are great: you should have them early and often, and don't worry too much about the math. Tormod: you obviously need to change the database schema to use "datetime" instead of "smalldate" time, so you can handle Angel's, Spike's and Turtle's real birthdates.... Cheers,Buffy Quote

Hey Buffy...good to see you back! How can July 31 be mistaken...? :) Anyway, this is a built-in feature in vBulletin so I'll check if there is a known bug about this. You'd think it would have been fixed a long time ago... Quote

You'd think it would have been fixed a long time ago...This is a joke that only Alexander will probably get: "smalldatetime" handles the years 1900 thru 2079, "datetime" handles 1753 to 9999....so it goes back far enuf to handle the year that Turtle was born in... ;) Cheers!Buffy Quote
Turtle Posted July 31, 2005 Report Posted July 31, 2005 ___I have put 1881 so many years that I almost believe it, but I think that's just my wishing up a palindromic year. It is most likely 1898. Maybe Dark Mind will find which, if any, base notation for 1898 other than ten forms a palindrome? ;) ___If no ones steals my sole, here is my birthday picture about 1906 I think. Nice shoes huh? :) Quote
