Friday 13th (2009) - Geek Style

OK, so today is an important day for geeks around the globe.
Today is the day that the UNIX timestamp hits: 1234567890
(I know, you're probably now in shock...don't worry, it will pass).

Basically, at 23:31:30 today (GMT I hasten to add! That bit's important...apparently) that's what the UNIX timestamp will be. 1234567890.

For those not in the know (how could you not know such a thing?!!) that timestamp is the number of seconds since 00:00 on the 1st Jan 1970 (where the hell do these guys come up with this sh*t?).

For those who want to work it out for themselves, I salute you for finding something to help with the insomnia, but there's a website for it:
