The article shows how to make the eyes, illustrated with examples of where you'd want the googly eyes, including an FSM.

I just got my hands on a copy of the 2008 edition of the Allied Electronics catalog. It's got over 2200 beautifully colorful pages of components, cables, connectors, enclosures, tools and other goodies.

You do know that a millicentury would be one one thousandth of a century? Meaning that 20 millicenturies would be 0.2 years, or approximately 73 days.

The word you're looking for is "millimillenium" or "centicentury". Either will work.

I don't think that I understand your math.

1 century = 100 years
1 millicentury = 100 years/1000 = 0.1 years
20 millicenturies = 20*0.1 year = 2 years.

A millimillenium or centicentury are both equal to one year-- and this blog post was for our 2nd anniversary, not our 20th.

My math? It's quite simple.

My staying up way too late = My making foolish error while posting afterwards

You are quite right. 20 millicenturies would be 2 years. Sorry about that.
