A few hours from now a milestone will happen for Unix world as the Unix time (Unix Epoch) will hit “1234567890″ at Friday, February 13, 2009, 11:31:30 pm UTC (since it started counting on January 1, 1970).

To find out what time it will be in your local time:

perl -e 'print scalar localtime(1234567890),"n";'
