One of those magic times: On Friday the 13th!
Feb 01, 2009 3:42pm GMTJon maddog Hall
"At 11:31:30pm UTC on Feb 13, 2009, Unix time will reach 1,234,567,890.
Where will you be at this momentous second?" - from Bell Labs
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 if there was any reason to fear Friday the 13th, I think this is
it. That many numbers sequentially in a row representative of time? Who
knows what will stop working? Will lex(1) cease to work, will yacc(1)s
everywhere revolt? Will the rapture be upon us?
I remember asking Alan Cox about UNIX (note that I spelled UNIX in all
capital letters, as it should be) time with respect to Linux in 1999. I
was confident that most Linux systems would not be adversely affected
by "Y2K", but I knew about a hidden time-bomb in the year 2038, when
the "UNIX epoch" comes to an end. Alan assured me that Linux was now
working on 64-bit time, and its "roll-over" would happen about the time
that the sun burnt out. And while this upcoming event is not a
"roll-over", nevertheless because it occurs on Friday the 13th I will
be holding my breath....
I intend on being at the place where I have the best chance of
surviving this potential catastrophe and where I can personally do the
most good:
=>Martha's Exchange Restaurant in Nashua, New Hampshire, USA<=
While our friends at Bell Labs (er, ah, Lucent....O.K.
"Alcatel-Lucent") strive to understand this phenomenon, I will be doing
my civic duty by drinking fine beer, and maybe an Islay scotch. This is
hard to do while you are holding your breath, but I will suffer
through. Who knows, perhaps the U.S. government will give us a
"bailout" to study this issue.
Who will join me as we watch the time of UNIX line up? Please have a
picture taken of you and your friends whereever you are at this time
and email it to me at Pawprints AT linuxpromagazine DOT com
