The Epoch...

Feb 13th was my birthday!!!
Ah, a time to celebrate...For, Feb 13th 2009 is an epoch...A commemoration of the day of birth of the great mind that I am?

Nah, that's trivial..I'm not one for too much symbolisms in my life...

Well, February 13 2009 was significant to the whole world. On that day, the epoch unix time registered 1234567890, which is a prety big deal, if you are interested in mathematical and computer symbolisms and all such hocus-pocus.. :-)

It's pretty cool all the same and I feel good that it was made such a huge deal in so many places. There was a lot of fanfare, parties,stupid dancing and folks getting drunk all around the world, which is basically how any birthday party should be, in my opinion...So, my blessings and thanks to UNIX for doing my job!

To check out the current Epoch time, here's a simple but cool site -> http://coolepochcountdown.com/

In the words of site creator Chris Rowe, the site thankfully does more than some other irreverantly popular sites like -> http://hasthelargehadroncolliderdestroyedtheworldyet.com/

Cheerio!
