Among the things that I rarely in public is the fact that although the platform I'm using is RHEL5.4 Linux, the code I'm writing is... COBOL. I brought Denman's first computer online in 1980, and there just weren't a lot of other choices. And in the intervening years, there really hasn't been a compelling reason to switch languages, so I've kept writing.
Anyway, I was in the debugger this morning, and had to maniuplate the date in YYMMDD form. It came out
100111
which is right - but I had to look at it a whole bunch of times. It still looks like 47 octal to me.
