The time is 1234567890

Here’s a geeky thing on this Friday, the 13th. This computer’s internal clock (based on Unix epoch time) just hit 1234567890. It does the same thing on my desktop running OS-X.

RP:~ phil$ perl -e 'print scalar localtime(1234567890),"\n";'

Unix time is defined as the number of seconds that have elapsed since midnight Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) of January 1, 1970, not counting leap seconds. Those who think it’s cool to watch the odometer in your car reach 99,999 might enjoy this tidbit. Otherwise, have a nice day!
