November 27.

Hopefully that is enough lead time. ;-)


#2 of 84 by davel on Fri Jul 2 10:25:51 1993:

(If I say "Happy birthday" now, does that give it enough time to get there?)


#3 of 84 by robh on Fri Jul 2 12:00:35 1993:

November 19th.


#4 of 84 by glenda on Fri Jul 2 13:35:53 1993:

Staci Andre' will be 6 on August 22, 1993.


#5 of 84 by glenda on Fri Jul 2 13:37:25 1993:

Oh, and her mom and dad will celebrate their 11th wedding anniversary 
6 days later.


#6 of 84 by mju on Fri Jul 2 16:50:50 1993:

I'll be 18 on August 14th -- three days before I move away to Pittsburgh.


#7 of 84 by scg on Fri Jul 2 18:10:43 1993:

's a bit unnerving to realize that the sum of the last three
responses' current ages is only a couple numbers higher 
than, ahem, well, ummmm, err, ... you know.


#10 of 84 by davel on Sat Jul 3 12:46:43 1993:

Yeah.  <sigh>


#11 of 84 by vidar on Sun Jul 4 22:19:58 1993:

Well, Whop-De-Do!

And until then, there shall be liberty and lutefisk for all!

Birthdays are automatically added from where?  When are they input to the 
program that automatically adds them to the list?
(BTW, mine is 14 November.)


#17 of 84 by davel on Sun Feb 27 19:10:52 1994:

Whenever Valerie is notified & gets around to it, I think.  In her absence
(extended absence, I mean) you could probably get remmers or someone to
add it.

I think that the relevant files are /u/popcorn/birthday.awk and
/u/popcorn/birthday.list if you want to see how it's done.
(I think the variable date must be set on the command line when awk is
invoked.)

Yes, and it has been listed in my.plan file for most of the period over which
I have been using GREX.  (:

It's hard to fit all one's personal goodies into the format provided by
newuser.  And in case anyone hasn't noticed, I can be a bit verbose!  (:


#24 of 84 by noname on Sat Apr 16 04:10:14 1994:

April 16


#25 of 84 by bubbles on Sat Apr 16 07:59:10 1994:

January 5


#26 of 84 by anne on Sun Apr 17 17:38:16 1994:

in case anyone wants to know, my b-day is Jan. 11, next Jan 11- I'll be 20

#28 of 84 by gerund on Mon Apr 18 03:02:36 1994:

if anyone cares my b-day in Nov 19, and next NOV 19 I'll be older.... :-)


#29 of 84 by davel on Mon Apr 18 09:58:33 1994:

But you'll only be one *day* older than on Nov 18, not one year.
<davel calls for precise age figures to be maintained at all times>


#30 of 84 by robh on Mon Apr 18 10:29:20 1994:

gerund and I have the same birthday!


#31 of 84 by gerund on Mon Apr 18 14:11:01 1994:

You don't know how many people I run into with the same birthday I have.
It's rather freaky.


#32 of 84 by rcurl on Mon Apr 18 14:27:12 1994:

How many people would there have to be in a group for the probability
to be greater than 50% that two or more have the same birthday 
(assuming that all birthdays are equally probable)?


#33 of 84 by gerund on Mon Apr 18 15:18:37 1994:

There'd need to be at least 23 people and the probability would be 50.7%.
Someone can check me on this, as my math mighta been a little off.
The calculations are rather involved.


#34 of 84 by kaplan on Mon Apr 18 16:54:00 1994:

With almost 2,000 lines in /etc/passwd, there should be 5 people with
birthdays on an average day.  Or are we only talking about member's
birthdays? 



#35 of 84 by scg on Mon Apr 18 19:19:32 1994:

yagi and I have the same birthday, and I also know at least two other
people with that birthday.


#36 of 84 by davel on Mon Apr 18 19:19:37 1994:

The calculations are not all that involved, actually, if you use a
computer to do your math for you.


#37 of 84 by anne on Tue Apr 19 00:23:32 1994:

I only know one person who has the same birthday at me. <sigh>



#38 of 84 by vidar on Tue Apr 19 01:31:17 1994:

<yawn>
