How old (in seconds) was UNIX when you were born?

In my case UNIX was about 426558660 seconds when I was born. I'll leave it to you to find what date that is. Clue: use Ruby

No need to do calculation. Unix wasn't even here yet when I was born ... ;D

Around 364176000 secs, not counting leap year etc. since I did this in my head.

Anyways I was born on 18th of June 1981, do the math.

What time were you born? (Damn, it's an easy question, but I have trouble finding the right syntax: is that OK?)

I don't know when Unix was born. I just know I was born on May 21st, 1981. Don't ask me the exact time. I just know it was morning.

Too much math. Let's just say several thousand, maybe a million less than Lovechild.

Download Ruby, fire irb, and keep trying to find the right date
