Dear Madam or Sir!
May I direct your attention to the work of Johan Heinrich von Mädler.
Please note the Umlaut, it is important in finding his work.
Under Windows, you can type «ALT+0228» to get «U+00E4». If you have
AllChars for Windows, this will be easier: In Emacs lingo, type «C " a»,
e.g., use the CTRL key as a prefix like ESC instead as a modifier like
SHIFT as you are used to.
He suggested the Czar a patch for the Julian Calendar in 1864 that is even
more exact than the Gregorian Patch.
This is now largely forgotten.
The idea is to drop a leap year every 128 years instead of the Gregorian
rule of dropping three within four centuries.
It fits nicely into the digital age as well.
And it is a perfect match for the un-discordian regularity of the
Discordian Calendar.
Date: 2009-11-20, ddate: Prickle-Prickle, 32nd Aftermath, YOLD 3175,
ISO-like: Prickle-Prickle, YOLD 3175-5-32.
Kind regards
