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?
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! :)
@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?
@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
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 :-)
@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
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!
@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.)...
@shadowdancer I believe the project site started in 2009 or late 2008.....so I think this is the first leap year.
@andycoleborn : OMG, yes... ;-) I heard about that on the news yesterday! =:-O
