One of those magic times: On Friday the 13th!

(Other stories by Jon maddog Hall)

"This will be Friday, February 13th at 1831 and 30 seconds EST. If you want to find out what time it will be in your local time, try this Perl script courtesy of Matias Palomec:

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

"Now if there was any reason to fear Friday the 13th, I think this is it. That many numbers sequentially in a row representative of time? Who knows what will stop working? Will lex(1) cease to work, will yacc(1)s everywhere revolt? Will the rapture be upon us? "
