The image was a crop of an image I took a couple of months ago.
The original image was 4.3 MB from a 12.1 MP camera I bought this year. Cropping got the JPG down to 277 KB and resizing that got it down to 42 KB in a size that would fit an average browser resolution as a JPG file. So it won't break the quota on the web host.
The image turned out to be dark, and so either black or white lettering is a little low contrast. In my next attempt I will probably choose another image from the set I took that evening in which there was a most beautiful sunset. I close this one because it wouldn't be too busy as a background.
Even as such, this was very easy to do, just two lines of CSS.
The ordinary calendar with leap years every four years is the Julian Calendar, the Gegorian Reform corrects the error caused in the Tropical Year caused by assuming it is 365.25 days long. It is 3/400 th day shorter which is corrected by making any century year not divided evenly by 400 NOT be a leap year, so 1600 and 2000 were leap years and 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100, 2200, 2300 are not leap years. The years 1901-2099 run a julian calendar without interruption so a cycle of ordinary years and leap years, 28 in all, repeats with cycles of 28 years through out. A person born during this cycle will likely live a cycle where a full cycle repeats during his life time at ages 28, 56, and possibly 84. My cycle is 1946, 1974, 2002, and 2030. The birthday will be on the same day of the week as in the birth year, guarenteed for these years. The Gregorian Reform upsets this so someone born late in this century will not see the cycle if they live into the next century.
This month matches December 1948, and 2004. Someone born in 1948 was 56 in 2004 and is 62 this year, but there is a snag, the first day of the month does not repeat within the cycle of 28 years in the same way for every case. It depends on if your birth year is a leap or not and when the next yeap year was. So this December is the same as December 1948 for someone who turns 62 this month, but in my case, the repeat did not occur in my 62th year, but skipped to the next day and will not occur until 2013 when I will be 67. The first day of the month repeats in cycles of 5, 6, 11. 28 is 6 + 22 is 6 + ( 2 X 11 ). The sequence is a permutation of 5, 6, and 11, depending on where the leap years are.
