Here's a random correlation for you:
Today is Halloween, or 31.10.
31 × 10 = 310.
The countdown ends on November 6, UTC.
November 6 is the 310th day of the year.
Enjoy the randomness

well this explains the unusual daisy disk upgrade policy (if you bought it before a few days ago, you got upgrades to the new version next year) - was wondering why. Now it make sense Glad to see daisy disk here - hope they do well - its a slick and useful app I've been using for a while

For anyone having problems in Safari, I forgot to post what I did to fix it (I think) - clear your cache. It just might be what causes the problems.

I swear that's one hour too far forward, because isn't the timer going to finish at 00:00 GMT?

End time for me in boston is listed as 8:00PM, if I look at the timer right now:

It also puts me at 8:00PM EST. The times posted are correct.

no, i currently show 5 days 2 and a half hours roughly, that means since its 2:30 here, it will be 5:00PM PST in 5 days, which is exactly what that link points to

Here in the UK, it's currently 21:36, and the timer says "5 days, 2 hours, 23 mins, 25 secs". Maybe the website you used for the time hadn't taken daylight savings (when the clocks went back an hour a few weeks ago) into account

Daylight savings is still in effect here, thats probably why

Most other things I've posted have been random. Seems odd that this should be different.

Worked for me in Firefox; not in Safari 4.0.3 nor Opera. Running Snow Leopard.
Thanks for the nice app.
Have a happy Halloween, my fellow Heisters! Boo!

Odd, my countdown says 28 days. I don't think I should believe it.

Thank you for getting that! I'd gone off down a morse code rabbit hole, despite the fact there were only pairs of sounds and not 3 (a long dash is 3 counts), and was getting complete gibberish, but then again gibberish has served us well in the past
Nice little break for the evening. Now it will undoubtedly be too long until the next one. I'm surprised we're seeing signs of life so early this year!
It's interesting that the tweats give the answer.

Have no issues at all with 4.0.3 on SL. Do people have plug-ins installed that are causing the issues?
November 1, 2009 4:03 am
I have to say... I'm grateful for any morsel of MacHeist goodness, but was it really necessary to spoil the puzzle by not only including the answer in the tweets but then scrolling those tweets across the top of the page at macheist.com??
