Charlie's Thoughts

Just a quick note today that the Universe will probably end, or do something weird on Friday. How do I know? Well because I just discovered that on Friday, February 13th 2009, 23:31:30 UTC, the UNIX Epoch time will be. 1234567890. For those of you in the know, UNIX Epoch time is the number of seconds since since Jan 1st 1970 (I think). All time stored in databases and computed on computers are usually computed in this format. To add to the mix, it occurs on Friday the 13th. For full coverage of this event there is a link to a count up, here:

And an XKCD joke about it here (well not it, but UNIX time):

I'm off to New York to see Speed the Plow, till next time!
