Tonight we finally reached “1234567890″ as Unix time. If you run a Unix or Linux machine try the following command:
$ date -d @1234567890
Sat 14. Feb 00:31:30 CET 2009
Note: Due to the Unix date function (since 1972) is not calculating the astronomical time but calendar time (e.g. leap year/second) 1234567890 seconds after 01-01-1970 was actually at 0:30:56.
