11:11:11 on 11/11/11

Of course when I said it would be a party for Unix time, the real world has to have a party for this time also!! (See re-post of Unix time party below)

Today at 11:11 and 11 seconds, the date and time will be a perfect same-number palindrome—that is, it will read the same backwards and forwards, using the same number. It will be 11:11:11 on 11/11/11, and that won’t happen again for another 100 years.

Naturally, it’ll happen again at 11 PM, for those that don’t observe military time.

Party like it's 1234567890 from Open Source Blog

At 3:31 PST on Friday, February 13, 2009.............
Unix computer clocks will reach a time of 1234567890
Although no one else seemed to care!!
I thought it was a GREAT excuse to party!!

It's won't be the "epochalypse" of 2038, but it offers a moment notable enough for some Unix fans to raise a toast.
That's when Unix computer clocks will reach the time of 1234567890--1.2 billion seconds elapsed from January 1, 1970, the official beginning of the Unix epoch. The clock is used not just by Unix, but also by Linux, Java, JavaScript, Mac OS X, and various other technologies.

Various Web sites exist to help mark the occasion.
Cool Epoch Countdown, which actually counts up, is the first I saw.
1234567890 Day helpfully includes links to a few parties to honor the occasion.

There's nothing wrong with a good excuse for a party!
Just so long as those Unix sysadmins get back to work and patch things up so the computer world doesn't grind to a halt in 2038, when today's clocks would run out of positive 32-bit integers.
