Unix time 1,234,567,890

“At 11:31:30pm UTC on Feb 13, 2009, Unix time will reach 1,234,567,890″.

This will be Friday, February 13th at 1831 and 30 seconds EST. If you want to find out what time it will be in your local time, try this Perl script courtesy of Matias Palomec:

perl -e ‘print scalar localtime(1234567890),”\n”;’

Now, while this is not the UNIX epoch, Alan Cox does assure us that Linux is now working on 64-bit time, and the UNIX epoch ‘roll-over’ would happen about the time that the sun burnt out.”
