I just learned this (59 yrs old and still learning, who'd have thunk) . Do people know about Epoch Time ?
Simply, its the time in seconds (32 bit value) since 1/1/1970. It expires or rolls over in 1938 or sometime about then.
I know anyone can figure this out , when I started tracking seconds on PIC with longs, that will go for 68 years before rollover !!!! Just thought that was pretty cool.
With the Epoch time value, its GMT and apparently (obviously) they subtract the seconds-in-a-hour to match your time zone. Don't know yet how to retrieve this val from someware.
Also, (I know anyone can figure this out) there are only about 8000 hours in a year, and if you sleep and eat for 10 hrs a day your down to 4 to 5000 hrs left. And work takes up min 2000/yr.
The point is, not a lot of time left after necessities to enjoy.
