Another counter: Counting down to (Mayan) Apocalypse


I can't top the "Hell Counter," which counts the number of people who have died since opening the page. This more traditional ticker counts down to the end of the world, or at least the end of time according to the Maya.

Also on that site is a countdown to the the Y2038 bug, the end of time according to existing UNIX operating systems.
On January 19, 2038, UNIX-based programs and UNIX-like operating systems will run out of time. To be more precise, at 3:14:07 GMT, UNIX will be exactly 1 billion seconds old. Many see this as a milestone, but from a technical point of view, this can mean disaster for computer programs and systems around the world.


Happy Death Clock Challenge!
