1234567890 Day

This Friday, in addition to being Friday, is also 1234567890 Day. At 6:31 pm EST on that day, the Unix time will be 1234567890.

Unix time is defined as the number of seconds elapsed since midnight Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) of January 1, 1970, not counting leap seconds. It is widely used not only on Unix-like operating systems but also in many other computing systems.

No hefty celebrations, you rabble-rousers...

Boy, I feel I can die now that you have imparted that knowledge unto me!

SpiritWarrior · 02-13-2009, 04:39 PM

Well that settles that. Thank you god.

Just don't die before 6:31, or all will have been for naught. Kind of like a computer, often mistaken for a planet (because of its size and use of biological components), being destroyed by Vogons to make way for a hyperspatial express route, five minutes before the conclusion of its 10-million-year program....

Bung my dear, you aren't living in a Douglas Adams novel

Are you sure? It would explain an awful lot...

Pardon me for breathing, which I never do any way so I don't know why I bother to say it, oh God, I'm so depressed...

If I am ever in fear that I may be too big a geek...I can always come here to reassure my self that I am not even in the
running for King Geek.

Heavey celebrations already accomplished. If you missed them we can do the time warp, again.
