The number of seconds since Jan 1 1970 (Unix Epoch's birthday) will be 01234567890 this evening at 18:31:30 EST or 23:31:30 UTC.

I thought I was going to have a consulting gig in 2038 to take a break from mopping the lobby at the Burger King, but 64 bit epoch moves the problem until long after our galaxy collides with Andromeda. I guess I better start saving for retirement.

At 73, I probably won't care much about an old computer rolling it's date over anyway. Get off my lawn! I can't hear Fox news!

Update:

sh-3.1$ perl -le 'while(true){print time();sleep 1;}'
1234567887
1234567888
1234567889
1234567890
1234567891
1234567892

Woo!
