    Time-handling bug leads to lost time machine

longitude...)


    I built a working time machine and sent it back to the year 1500.  It was 
supposed to take some pictures.  I was planning on retrieving it from 2007 
immediately afterwards. Unfortunately, I messed up the code for the Gregorian 
calendar year adjustment and now I've lost it!  Help!



  Been reading comp.protocols.time.ntp recently?  This would have been a truly 
convincing AFD prank if he'd said his RTC got set back to 1500 by a rogue 
server and nothing works now...
