Other Unix Time Stamps

I'm currently working on a website that uses a lot of date sensitive information, so therefore a lot of Unix Time stamps are involved. Anyway, I was just looking at the raw database data and noticed the time stamps at the moment are starting with 1234, which made me wonder what day had the timestamp 1234567890?

Well, a quick conversion later and I had the date:

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 23:31:30 GMT

That's right, Friday the 13th, if I were a superstitious person, I'd be pretty scared right now.

TL;DR UTC 1234567890 = Fri, 13 Feb 2009 23:31:30 GMT

 

I Celebrated 1234567890 day didn't you?

 

Damn it, should have know the internet would have beat me to the punch on this. Today is unfortunately the first time I'd considered the possibility of 'interesting' time stamps.

I suppose next up is 2222222222, was the 18th march 2005 celebrated? (1111111111)

 

At Bell Labs in the mid 70's to early 80s, we would ship files between sites with a timestamp of Dec31, 1969. In effect -1 the day before creation.. Unless you were savvy enough to 'touch' the files they were unusable. Unix was still secret to Bell Labs when I first started on it.

LIES! You and I both know the universe was in fact formed on the 1st Jan 1970, anyone claiming to be older than 39 is a liar or government agent.

Edit: Just re-read your post and noticed the mid 70's to early 80's bit, so you're off the hook, but my point remains valid.

 

There was life on this planet before the Beatles too.

<sarcasm> WTF is "the Beatles"? </sarcasm> Har Har Har.

Ooh Freaky! 9876543210 will also be a Friday! - Fri, 22 Dec 2282 20:13:30 GMT

 

I'm aiming to be here for it

 

Oddly enough 1111111111 was a Friday as well, but 2222222222 isn't.

 

How many post counts will THAT be?

Based on current rates, Jamie will need to make the post count a 64bit integer
