Not sure why people suggest programs that people must run several times to view that timestamp, instead of solutions for everyone. Here's a webpage for it: https://thefiletree.com/jan/html/time.html

If you use Windows, UNIX time probably isn't very relevant to you.

Basic countdown timer; tried to get that updating every second, what am I missing here? http://jsfiddle.net/BPKdQ/

It should be setInterval(updateClock, 1000) not setInterval(updateClock(), 1000)

Thanks!

Why does anyone care about a decimal milestone? I thought the excitement would be when you flip a big bit.

Unix time is representing seconds, and seconds are a human measurement which use decimal notation.

Seconds are base 60 actually, just like minutes
