Sounds a bit like what I said recently about his response to a question I asked him at a signing once

0 ASF, April: Storm Front. Harry is 27 or 28, and he's been wizarding professionally for two years. As an anonymous reader points out, "I was just starting Storm Front again, and I noticed this:
--- Quote from: Storm Front chapter 1 ---The end of the twentieth century and the dawn of the new millennium had seen something of a renaissance in the public awareness of the paranormal...
--- End quote ---
which would seem to imply that the events of Storm Front take place no earlier than 2000." I'm guessing 2002 at the very earliest, meaning that the Dresden books occur a few years into the future with respect to when they're published.

I'm tired of living in the shadows...It was ME! I'm the anonymous tipster...but seriously, did I forget to sign that email?

I can't find a reference to the bolded quote in the timeline any more... I searched through the replies in the topic and couldn't find the reason, so can you provide it?
Quantus:
Random bit of specificity I can across that might fit in the "Eb and Langtry have know each other since way back" item:

I stopped considering that line evidence of a post-2000 start point because of all the various hints that the series was "written" years later. From that perspective, Writer!Harry was referring to an overall trend that the books take place along. Storm Front taking place at the end of the twentieth century makes total sense to me.

Great catch!
Thanatos:
This has probably already been pointed out, but I haven't read the entire ten year history of this thread.
Harry may not be an entirely reliable narrator, and personal memories are notoriously prone to unconscious editing. Why not just figure that Harry's age and childhood media references (Knight Rider, etc.) are based on Jim's? I expect that Bob might have exact dates, but he could have ended up in a situation such that Harry no longer has access to him for reference by the time Harry is meant to be writing his case memoirs. Bob has basically moved on to a new owner by now, but maybe he gets captured by fae, or his skull home gets broken, etc.
