Netscape Gadgets and Tech announced the following today:
Today is Programmers’ Day. Today is the 256th day of the year, otherwise known a Programmer’s Day. Have you hugged a programmer today?
This whimsical “holiday” is set on September 13, the 256th day of the year, since there are 256 possible values for 8 bits, which forms a byte. To all nerds out there, happy Programmers’ Day.
I think this is the best post to include my many thanks to the people who have read and relayed their appreciation of my work. The site has been running for two and a half years now. To most of the first readers of this blog, thanks for telling me that it’s as if I am still with you when you read this blog. Most of them are abroad now. It is true, it’s still like me talking. I have been nothing but honest in my entries. Believe me, since I lay out my thoughts, heart and soul into every entry, new readers also find the authenticity in them. They often feel like they know me a lot, even if we are strangers to begin with.
Thank you very much.

Erratum: The day is supposed to be the 13th, not the 12th.
