yay!
to determine your actual birthday, one must add 1 year plus 1 quarter of a day for each year to account for the misalignment between our 365 day gregorian calendar and the 365.2424 day lunar calendar. this re-alignment, of course, is the purpose of leap year, as well as the omission of 3 leaps every 400 years.
depending on your time of birth, your true birthday may often fall on a different day than the one on which you celebrate.

so it actually is your birthday or some other weird day that you've conjured up so you could angle for free cake and well-wishes?

*considers taking cake back and eating it all.

IT'S ALL LIES I TELL YOU!

according to your explanation, doesn't that mean that it all evens out anyway?
Happy birfday!
- dippy0
Hey acescence, btw, are you a sound engineer or something? you seem pretty knowledgeable about recording n stuff...
- acescence0
well, yes, it evens out every four years, that's the point. but your true "birth hour" may actually be on the day following what you consider your bday for 3 of them.
and yes, audio engineer is currently my day job. not sure why i hang out with you designer types. ha!

if dippy can be ever the optimist then who am i to argue...
happy birthday!

cool, one of my roommates was an audio engineer -- I learned a lot from him, and from reading his subscriptions to Mix magazine and such. He used to work at Streetlight Studios in NYC, but they closed.
- acescence0
yeah, a lot of NYC studios are closing. a lot of studios everywhere, really. it's a tough space to be in right now. the proliferation of the home studio and the difficulties of the music industry have taken a serious toll. you can get some good vintage gear cheap, though!
and thanks for bday wishes!
