Abstract

Occasionally I work with a database that stores dates and datetimes as UNIX timestamps, a.k.a. the number of seconds since midnight 1970-01-01. Unlike the original author of the database and surrounding code, I cannot convert between UNIX timestamps and human-readable date formats in my head, so I write tools for that.
