Definitive end of countdown

Unread post by Ciarán »

I know this has been talked about a lot in terms of working out the end date/time of the countdown timer, but I just thought it was worth pointing out that the source of the SWF file has this in it:

endTime = new Date(2007, 5, 21, 0, 0, 0, 0);

So it definitely ends on 00:00:00 21 June 2007 (assuming it uses 0 = Jan, 1 = Feb, ... 5 = June), i.e. it ends as 21st June starts.

Curiously, the source also contains code to respond to some kind of click event on an element (that doesn't seem to be there any more) that sets the countdown to this:

self.newTime = new Date(2007, 5, 13, 13, 34, 0, 0);

So, did this all kick off at 13:34 on the 13th of June?

Ciarán.

ooh, nice! Definitive confirmation.

I'm not sure when it started exactly, but it was some time during that day.
