I can't believe we neglected to mention this at the last ALE meeting. Behold: | [jason at chunk jason]$ date -d '12:00:00 July 9, 1998' +%s | 900000000 IOW, 12 noon on Thursday, July 9th was the 900,000,000th second of the UNIX epoch. Virtual beer for everyone on me! ---- Jason Boyles <jason at chunk.hboc.com>
