Second 0 was midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC.

I'm not sure of all the historical reasons, presumably a reasonable if
arbitrary choice for people working on operating systems and programming
languages in the 1970s.

About thirty-two years ago? Linux started? Ab urbe condita?

The balloons are still drifting down here.  It apparently happened about
3 hours ago.  Happy sesqui-billion seconds, if that's the right way to
say it!

[PLUG] Looking for a Linux consultant

2017-07-13 Thread John Miller 
I've operated a small but steady IT consulting operation in the Portland
area for about five years.  My clients generally have Linux on the servers
and Windows on the desktops.  There are a few Windows servers present to
support specific applications.  I don't generally need to do much with the
desktop systems.

I'll be relocating out the area in a few months, so I'm looking for someone
that might be interested in buying my business.  It has been my full time
job the entire time and my income has been pretty reliable.  I have no
employees.

If anyone thinks they might be interested, please contact me privately at
johnmillerpdx"at"gmail.com.
