This post brought to you by the small child who used to sneak into the dining room at her grandparents' house every hour and eleven minutes during the long summer afternoons, to see the excitingly digital clock perform amazing conjunctions.

And again, the internet belongs to you. :-)

I love this so much.

*hugs*, though, and I hope the insomnia eases soon.

The insomnia's actually much-improved - I'd set myself a target of three decent pill-free nights' sleep in a row before going back on the caffeine (which I've been off for a couple of months) and have been getting quite close to that actually happening. So yay for that :)

I used to perform insomnia calculations, with the : being an equals sign, and being allowed to insert operators where I liked. For example:

2:11 -> 2 = 1+1
2:12 -> 2 = 1*2
2:13 -> 2 = -1+3

That sounds quite familiar :)

One thing I used to do on coach journeys was to try and form meanings from the time reflected from the clock at the front of the coach in the windows (it being easier reflected because 3 -> E and so forth). One sequence being (AFAICR)
0:20 -> 0S:0 -> a medical terminology lesson
0:21 -> 1S:0 -> nihilism
0:22 -> SS:0 -> eventual outcome of world war 2
...and so forth.

Well, *i* think digital watches are a pretty neat idea...

The conjunctions of digital clocks - and, especially, digital watches - still delight my inner geek.

...Said [info]hairyears, who also has an outer geek, an intermediate geek, and an n-dimensional extrusion of geekiness extending across vast tracts of hyperspace.

I still have the Casio digital watch that I received on entering secondary school, and I recall my breathless anticipation and nerdish satisfaction at seeing all three sequential datetimes:
  • 12:34 5/6/78
  • 23:45 6/7/89
  • 12:34:56 7/8/90
I had to put a battery in it specially to see the last of those; alas that I was to clueless to see in the sixty-second geekfest that was 3:14 1/5/92.
