Project 366? ;-)

December 31st, 2011
Just a funny thought... With 2012 being a leap year, will 365 be renamed? And do we need 366 pictures next year to complete 100%? Any plans how to handle this?

Happy New Year to everyone! :-)

its 8am here.. toooo early to be thinking of such matters....
December 31st, 2011
@nikkers : ah, okay.... :-) Only 6,5 hours of the old year left over here. ;-)
December 31st, 2011
I was thinking about that the other day. My project ends in March and I am not sure if I should do 365 or 366. Curious what others are doing.
December 31st, 2011
@egad : Yes, would be interesting to know. When you finish in March, one day would be missing with 365 pictures...
December 31st, 2011
I doubt it would be renamed......too much trouble, but from everything I can gather the calendar on here will have an extra space on it......another excuse to snap some photographs IMO! :)

@shadowdancer I know, and I think that would bother me. That was kind of why I was leaning toward 366.

@shadesofgrey : Yes, renaiming the url would mean to move the entire site, I guess... Did 365 already exist in 2008, or is the leap year situation entirely new for this project?
December 31st, 2011
@egad : I guess when you'll post 366 pictures, it will still count as "100%", so I don't think that would be a problem...
December 31st, 2011
@egad - I'm doing 366 'cos I want my project to chart the year up to my 40th birthday; started it on my birthday last year and want it to finish on my birthday eve. Although I'll probably continue for a second year so it'll all be academic by then!

Good there's no Samoans on here.. They lost a whole day with their date line jump yesterday..!! Now that would have really screwed up their project lol
December 31st, 2011
@andycoleborn That did not even occur to me when I read about it, LOL

@shadowdancer I believe the project site started in 2009 or late 2008.....so I think this is the first leap year.
December 31st, 2011
Hey, yes, obviously we wont be ignoring Feb 29th, I have a photo from that date in 2008 ( http://365project.org/Scrivna/365/2008-02-29), on completion of your project it will display 100% with either 365, or 366 photos. No the domain definitely wont be changing for 2012, I think people get the idea :-)
December 31st, 2011
@Scrivna : Ah okay, thanks, Ross! Well, I bet when that entire leap year concept was invented, no one thought about the poor programmers who'd have to deal with that one day! lol

@andycoleborn : OMG, yes... ;-) I heard about that on the news yesterday! =:-O
December 31st, 2011
I just saw on the news the other night that there is a group of grad students (I think it was grad students) at Johns Hopkins University that have created a new calendar. It keeps all the months/days the same every year so every holiday falls on the same day of the week and we really wouldn't need any new calendars! Just change the year. There would be no leap year and we'd pick up an extra week every 5th year! Now how's that for some food for thought. I doubt it would get adopted but it's an interesting concept!
December 31st, 2011
@debsphotos : Sounds interesting! Who knows, maybe their concept will find worldwide acceptance one day; after all, the calendars have been changed a couple of times in the past (Julian calendar, Gregorian calender, etc.)...
December 31st, 2011
For all of those who have their birthday on Feb 29th I say we dedicate this special day to them!!
December 31st, 2011
I was thinking we could have a one day theme for the 29th.

@buttercup @gtinsocal What about a birthday theme for the 29th... those poor folks only get one every 4 years so it should be really special for them.
December 31st, 2011
LoL.....If you believe in the Mayan Calender, perhaps it should be 355 project, since the world will be ending on Dec 21, 2012...LoL
December 31st, 2011
@tjramutkowski : haha... good one! :-)
December 31st, 2011
Maybe it can be an optional day for extra credit.
January 1st, 2012
I started somewhere in 2011 so I'm already working on a 366 project :-)
January 1st, 2012
I never thought of that! My first year (just started December 13th) and I get an extra day??
January 1st, 2012
@andycoleborn Lol Andy, that's what I was thinking! 365 sounds better than 366, you can't change it! Just add the day...
January 1st, 2012
@marilyn I like the birthday theme idea.
Make it extra special for those that get so few b-days! :-)
