I see, the subject line was 11111111111, which doesn't actually happen until Sun, 5 Feb 2322 19:45:11 UTC. Clearly, the world ends at Eleventy O'Clock.

See, it had to be a mistake -- everybody knows the world is going to end on 19 January 2038 at 03:14:07 GMT.

I just have an xterm up with

watch --interval 1 'date +%s'

watch(1) on FreeBSD is for snooping on other terminals.

while true; do date +%s; sleep 1; done

should do the trick just as well, at least under Bourne shell derivatives.

I remember celebrating 1000000000. The seconds, where do they go?

Up yours and your stupid decimal notation.

The next time we hit all 1s (in binary), it'll be the end of the world, aka Mon Jan 18 19:14:07 2038 PST.

Also, the last time we hit all 1s just happened on Jan 10. And the previous time was in 1987.

My eyes are bleeding from geek-ese.

This post and its subsequent comments needs subtitles, or at least director's commentary.

Time on unix is counted internally as the number of seconds from Jan 1st 1970. It will overflow 32 bits on the aforementioned date in 2038.

Better, no?

Actually it is.

My BF had later put up his own post celebrating a whole bunch of ones.

...I felt like the last guy on the block with rotary dial.
