UNIX Timestamp Calculator

Several months ago, I created a simple AJAX-based UNIX timestamp calculator. For the longest time, I simply ran the script here locally when I needed it. I decided that it could be helpful for others as well. It took a little work to figure out how to get it to play nice with Wordpress, however I have gotten it working and it is now available in the new Tools section of this website. Check out the UNIX Timestamp Calculator.

Obviously, this is going to be more useful and relevant to programmers. I found that I fairly often needed to find out what the timestamp of a particular day was. Or I would be debugging something and see a timestamp in the database and I would need to find out when it was. I don’t know about you, but I cannot calculate UNIX timestamps in my head and I doubt you can either. So, the calculator I developed is very simple. I can either copy/paste a timestamp in and convert it to a regular date format, or I could choose a particular date and calculate the timestamp. No longer do I need to do stupid one-liner scripts using date() or mktime() to figure this crap out.

Enjoy!
