There ought to be a word describing the process of remembering things
by number rather than year.
I remember one occasion where a group of instructors teaching Cisco
University rolled into a hotel outside LA Airport. We had spent the
day teaching in San Diego, then discovered that the lab equipment
hadn't yet been delivered and spent hours and hours waiting for it to
arrive -- and then doing an all-hands setup. This was early voice
training, so setup involved much more than cabling.
Anyway, by the time we were finished and ready to go to bed, most of
us had forgotten our room numbers -- we hadn't been there yet.
When I was reminded of mine, 1518, I muttered "Yes, 1518. One of the
primary CIDR RFCs," and started wandering off, to the total hysterics
of my colleagues. It was John Livengood, IIRC, who said he worried
about people who defined reality in terms of RFC numbers.
