1 billion seconds

... turns out to be slightly over 31 and a half years.

According to the text of my birth certificate, I was born at 13:20. So, with that, we can make the following calculation:

wouter@celtic:~$ date -d '1978-05-06 + 13 hours + 20 minutes + 1000000000 seconds'
Tue Jan 12 15:06:40 CET 2010

Since I missed my 10000 days, and I was sortof unhappy about that, I guess this one is a good substitute.

Unfortunately the 12th of January is a tuesday, but I guess I can throw a party during the weekend...
