UNIX Time Clock, in honor of “1234567890 Day”
On this Friday the 13th, we are to witness a very unique moment in history. That is, it is the day when UNIX time will roll over to 1234567890. Here’s a simple Python/Tk app that’ll show the timestamp.
import time from Tkinter import * class TimestampClock(Frame): def __init__(self, root): Frame.__init__(self, root) self.pack() self.time = Label(self, text=int(time.time())) self.time.config(fg='red', font=('Monospace', 20, 'bold')) self.time.pack(padx=10, pady=10) self.update() def update(self): self.time.config(text=int(time.time())) self.after(1000, self.update) if __name__ == "__main__": root = Tk() root.title("Timestamp-Clock") root.wm_attributes("-topmost", 1) root.resizable(0,0) root.minsize(300,50) TimestampClock(root).mainloop()
I hope you did something special for the occasion. Me? I was sitting in a computer lab at Chemeketa waiting for the clock to hit that special number. Here is my screen grab of this great event:
