We'd have to include the year in that case. That would mean we'd celebrate Programmer's Day on

Good point. In the spirit of https://xkcd.com/927/ I propose we add "european programmer's day", celebrated on 5.12 (Dag Sinterklaasje)?

Let's all meet here again. I'll bring a bottle or two of Pastis 512 (unfortunately adjusted with magic marker instead of a hex editor) and we can blast Dylan Beattie and the Linebreakers:

I added some spaces among the digit sequences for you.
