Soon we will pass over the 15000th day of unix epoch time. This will happen on January 26th, 2011. Unix epoch time started on January 1st, 1970 and is a measurement of the seconds since that date. Epoch days are a measure of the days since that date.

You can calculate the current epoch day from a bash shell like this:

echo $(( $( date +%s ) / 86400 ))

Interestingly enough, I started using Unix on day 9000 (My 2nd day at College) and I first started using Linux on day 9996 (pretty close to 10000, my 2nd day at Kiva Networking).
