SINNERS!! HEAR ME!! For too long have you lain contented and SLOTHFUL in the illusion that time is infinite! SOON the UNIX EPOCH will END and numbers will OVERFLOW their confines CLEANSING all in a flood the likes we have not seen since 1901!!! The SINS of your 32 BITS will chase your children and your children's children unless you REPENT NOW and cleanse your code of the 2038 BUG!!

Calendaring is hard. Calendaring is very hard. Its also a little crazy. OK, its a lot of crazy. Fortunately there’s a small band of equally crazy people who make it all work so you don’t have to know anything about the crazy.

We’re going to look at some of that crazy, reveal the madness.

We’ll see that computers suck at math.

We’ll discover that there are time zones on Mars.

We’ll look at the 2038 bug, why you care about it now in 2013, why your fancy 64 bit laptop won't save you, and how to protect yourself against it.

We'll examine a solution to the 2038 bug that works on 32 bit machines and is in production right beneath your noses, a 2038 clean reimplementation of time.h!
