WASHINGTON
–– In an ironic Y2K computer glitch, the nation's official timekeeper
reported the date as "19100" during the earliest hours of the new year on
its Internet site. The U.S. Naval Observatory, whose master clock in Washington
serves as the nation's official source of time, published a Web page to track
the time – down to the precise second – exactly as the century
ended.
But a bug in the programming of the Web site informed visitors that the current date for U.S. time zones that had already passed midnight was Jan. 1, 19100.
Y2K Fixes for MSA Scripts
There were a few small Y2K problems with some of the scripts at MSA: The biggest problem is that the date will appear incorrectly in the year 2,000, as 19,100 instead of 2,000. This was due to my misunderstanding of the localtime() command when I first begun programming over 5 years ago. The only programs this affects are Countdown, Counter, Free for all Links, TextClock, TextCounter and WWWBoard. The fixes are shown below. The rest of the scripts at MSA are believed to be fully Y2k compliant. You can either make the minor changes to your scripts that are already installed and working (which is easiest) or download the corrected versions.
PENTAGON: SPY SATELLITE
IN Y2K FAILURE; DATA LOST FOR HOURS
Officials lost their ability to monitor all data from spy satellite...
The Pentagon experienced one "significant" Y2K failure on New Year's Eve, Deputy Defense Secretary John Hamre said on Saturday.
"We did have one significant problem, one that I had wished we hadn't had, but we did," Hamre told reporters. "One of our intelligence systems, a satellite-based intelligence system, experienced some Y2K failures last night shortly after the rollover of Greenwich Mean Time."
EMAIL, 1/2/00 12:48:50 PM Pacific Standard Time: I thought this link might interest you. The Naval Observatory's "Complete Sun and Moon Data for One Day" web page is defaulting to Jan. 2, 3900.

ET: OAK RIDGE, Tenn. (AP) - The
Y2K bug infested a computer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Y-12 nuclear
weapons plant but it did not affect operations or workers, Energy Department
officials said Sunday.
The exact nature of the malfunction was not disclosed because the computer controls a classified function. It was corrected in about three hours, said Department of Energy spokesman Frank Juan.
Juan said it is the first of the plant's 280 systems to experience a Y2K problem. Officials will continue to monitor all systems at the plant next week, Juan said. continue

EMAIL, 1/1/00 12:33:26 AM Pacific Standard Time: I watched CNN's millenium coverage most of 12/31...did anyone else see the segment where a CNN reporter was at the front door of the NORAD facility in Colorado? It was early evening 12/31. He said that NORAD was releasing information at an "unprecedented level" and that they had informed reporters of several scud type missles being accidentially launched as a result of Y2K (this would have been in the Soviet time zone) but that the US and Soviet Union had an agreement that any missle that went less than 500 kilometers would not be announced publically as part of the two country's agreed upon protocols. Never saw that reporter on again.

EMAIL, 12/26/99 2:59:17 AM Pacific Standard Time: I usually keep bad news to myself, but iI have been told by someone in the know that the USA can expect major power shortages over the new year as it sounds like they may have to take all nuclear power stations off line, as computer malfunctions are expected by technicians in the states, this info is from a Honeywell computer expert ( the guys that have been trying to get all these hi-tech computers compliant for the last few years), I was told their prelim tests did not go well and they are expecting problems which means they may HAVE to pull all nuclear stations out of the grid!!! as you may know the USA depends heavily on nuclear power!! So folks expect problems, sorry about this, lets hope it's not too bad. Or they come right at the last minute. Have a good one anyway.
EMAIL, 12/29/99 3:34:08 PM Pacific Standard Time: I am retired military (12 1/2 yrs. active USMC 20 yrs Army Reserve), still have many contacts. Spoke with T/Sgt PA Air National Guard today.

This indicates they expect some MAJOR PROBLEMS! The cause ... your guess is as good as mine. Somehow I don't feel this is going to be the cake walk many imagine.

Received information third hand from ANON that Dec 28th is the expected date for imposition of Martial Law using terrorist threats as an excuse. Have you noticed how that the Seattle case has been expanded and kept before us by the media. Today we have a new case in Vermont. What happened in Seattle seems like a put on. A trained terrorist does not at nervous and then run as a dead give-away. His capture was entirely too easy. It seems to me that covert actions are being created to make the population want martial law before New Years hits.

Time: I have been quite busy working with the local Red
Cross these past weeks as they prepare for the year 2000, filling containers
with food, water, and warm clothing. I have been told that a week from tomorrow,
(that's the 26th of Dec.) there is going to be a major SHUT-DOWN of power
plants across the U.S. AS they come back on line to the grid ( if they can
) there will be POWER SURGES in many areas. You would be advised to UN-PLUG
all computer/internet units / tv/stereo, AC powered Ham radios, and anything
else that could be harmed by power surges in your home or work place. Everyone
should have back-up lighting/heating units close at hand. I don't think you
are going to get this warning from the news media as it has been a word of

buddies.
RETRACTION (ABOVE) FROM EMAIL SOURCE EMAIL, 12/27/99 7:28:25 AM Pacific Standard Time: I can find no indication that the information that I quoted about the testing of the power grid system of the USA ever happened. It appears that I was wrong and this did not happen on Dec. 26th. |

There is none to be found at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, Shopko and others. Exacerbating the situation is that many of these chains are phasing out the Coleman fuel stoves and lanterns in favor of bottled propane. However, everyone and his brother still own the Coleman fuel stoves. There's still a plentiful supply of generators and other items; the real rush hasn't hit and probably won't until Thursday when people get off work.
EMAIL, 12/27/99 12:49:22 AM Pacific Standard Time: Australia: Just a note before I go to make dinner here. Our Army Reserves this past week have been made "operational" through an act of Parliament. They can now be called for any action at all, including martial law and peacekeeping. Of course, everyone here is thinking East Timor, but feel it is more likely y2k, coupled with a try by the Indos already here to upset the balance. Prior to this Act of Parliament, our Reserves could only fight on our own shores, and to call them up to do so also required a Parliamentary action.

The moment the chip in question is powered up for the first time it begins timing and if power is interrupted it starts all over. They have no idea when the year 2000 starts! If you don't believe me just unplug your VCR and then plug it in again-- 12:00, 12:00, 12:00 etc --right? See it has no idea what time it is. Someone is robbing the general consumer (we are the ones to ultimately pay for this hoax) blind! Billions and billions of dollars will have to come out of our pockets to pay for computers, programmers, and just-in-case scenerios. The media has added greatly to this hype (yourself included) by continually reporting and forecasting the worst (reminds me of the Waco propaganda).

Also, I work with 3 Army National Guardsmen, and they have all told me that their C.O. has placed them on an alert status beginning the week before Christmas. They are not to go anywhere they can not be contacted. They told me this was in case an emergency arose over the new year holiday. Yeah Right! More like to be ready to police the emergency the government is/has engineered. One Last thing Kent, About 3 weeks ago I was helping a neighbor paint his house, I was on the roof when out of no where 2 F-16's came screeching overhead. They were flying approx. 1000 feet!! Loaded, I could see missiles, bombs, fuel pods etc., could damn near see the pilots face. Millington naval air station was shut down, thank you very much Mr. Clinton (sarcasm intended), we do have an Air Force reserve stationed at the Memphis Intl. Airport, but in all my years I have only seen transports coming in and out of there, never Fighters! Especially loaded to the hilt with armament. Well that's all so far from Memphis, will advise if anything else rears it's head, I am praying for a peaceful transition for us all.

The radio stations claim this was due to a bomb threat being called in during the early morning but they say it was a hoax, so why are they still closing all the legal offices? At the same time our 911 service has been down all day, the radio station was reporting that they were not sure why it was down. Then just now they are saying the 911 service is down due to the bomb threat this morning. Why would they disconnect 911 due to one single bomb threat which was already proved to be a hoax? Something is amiss.

Then I looked to my left at Ellington Field and the wholenbase was covered with a "brown fog." It looked like a beehive over the base as fighter jets were circling, and flying off in all directions. This was a beautiful clear day with no breeze blowing andnthe "fog" only appeared over the base and its landing strips. My first thought was that they were conducting an exercise to counter a possible "biological terrorist attack." What do you think?

Major airlines reportedly have cut back on hundreds of flights over New Year's weekend. USA Today reports business is slower than usual because people worried about Y2K computer glitches are reluctant to fly.
