Hello all,
Anyone on this list who programs or does sys admin work should know
that most computers and languages measure time from January 1st, 1970.
When you get a time in most programs, you are actually getting a very
long number that is the number of milliseconds from that date.
Well today the epoch timer will reach 1234567890 seconds at 23:31:30
UTC
Here is a site that is tracking it
http://coolepochcountdown.com/
In the sprit, here is the xkcd on the subject
