At the third stroke, the Unix time will be 1234567890
Ready to party like it's 1234567890? Computer lovers certainly are.
That’s because at precisely 11:31:30pm tonight (Friday), the ten-digit clock used by Unix computers - which includes the servers that run everything from the internet to air traffic control - will display all ten decimal digits in sequence.
For computer geeks everywhere, this seemingly dubious milestone deserve celebrations just like those that greeted the end of the millennium. Parties are planned around the world from London to New York, to Yerevan in Armenia and Asunción in Paraguay.
