1234567890

In case anyone needed any more proof that I might be a bit of a geek, check out the time of this post :)

If you have no clue what I'm on about, here's a little quote from Wikipedia:

On Friday, February 13, 2009 at exactly 23:31:30 (UTC), Unix time will equal '1234567890'.

A cool number!  How exciting. Also, it was 1234554321 earlier this evening...  Shame about the leap seconds really.

I know, I know - very sad :|

But I'm still always vaguely pleased to catch the clock when it's 01:23, 12:34, 13:37, 23:45, etc.  The little binary clock sat next to the 'normal' clock in the corner of my screen makes some quite funky patterns as well, but I'm probably best off not getting into that! haha.

    I always seem to catch 13:37 (I used to try and get up before then...)

    I confess to having no clue about Unix time until today, but I did know of the 2038 bug! (Yay me?)
