Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Happy Pi Day!

From: Bruce Parham <obparham@...>
Date: 2012-03-14

Assuming we use the first three digits, 3.14, for the date and the rest
as a fraction, 0.159265..., of a 24 hr period, that would make the happy
epoch at 03:49:20.527. Long past... slept through the whole thing.

But wait, there's more! 9 Nov 2012, DOY 314, I'll be sure to wake early
and toast Pi II.
