Our local Linux User Group (now defunct) had a "special event" to celebrate the occasion (although I didn't realize ~19 years have since past!).

Unfortunately, the bakery we got the cake from was unable to satisfy our request for 1000000000 candles on the cake.

Yeah the seconds since must me shorter. You could've gone for 31.7 candles but it doesn't have the same splash.

Should’ve asked for 10 candles and only lit the first candle
