Party Like It’s 1234567890!

At 5:23:30 pm today (about 6 hours from now), the Unix time will be “1234567890” (Epoch Time). Geeky Sweet!

What the heck is Unix Time?
When can I raise a toast to the Unix clock?

    Crap! I forgot about the Tanger 57 post!
    Well, in my defense, they did get the time wrong (UTC does not equal CST).

    I was speaking about Uvula Time Code .. this is a quantum unix state in which one ululates in sync with our songs at Carmody tonight!

    Actually it’s 5:31:30, not 23:30

    My geeky English “house brother” also told me about the UNIX time thing. Although it’s about midnight where he is so he probably had a better celebration than us Duluthians.

    In fact, he sent me a “countdown” link which played “Celebration” and lit-off cyberworks.
