we are minutes away from a momentous occasion

[LabRat]

In the next 20 minutes we (computer users) will reach a cool point

 

1234567890 seconds since the epoch ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time ) - or in human terms 1234567890 seconds since January 1st 1970 00:00:00

 

This is a memorable once in a lifetime occasion. Were you playing EL at that point in time? You will be able to tell your children

 

A realtime clock is available at http://www.unixtime.se/ showing the countdown.

 

At the time of this post there are just over 1100 seconds to go

Geeky-cool, LabRat!!

 

I'm just embarrassed to say what I was doing at minute zero.... lining up dominoes to knock down and listening to my new Beatles album from Christmas! (Abbey Road, I think.)

woot, another mathematically significant special day that has absolutely no bearing on our everyday lives!

I was there \o/
