Next week we will see another epochal event, like Y2K and 2012. Actually, we hope it will be more like Y2K and less like the predicted events on 21 December 2012, which some think will bring about the end of the world as we know it.

At 23:31:30 GMT on Friday 13 February 2009 the Unix time will be 1234567890.

This is, of course, the number of seconds since midnight GMT on 1 January 1970 (not counting leap seconds.) To keep track of the event, you can use the epoch clock or just ask your local Unix system date ‘+%s’.
