At 3:31pm PST today, Friday, February 13, 2009, UNIX and Linux internal time clocks were at 1234567890. This will never, ever happen again, at least until 39 years after the clocks will need to be re-based.

Totally useless trivia, but I figured a few other Linux enthusiasts might get a smile.

My boss would not let me take the day off. It should have been a holiday!

Is this why there was such a kerfuffle about Y2K?
Wasn't a problem for real OS's, only the try-hards?
Or was it really bad for all OS's?
It's not useless trivia, it is historic trivia.
