Dates that far into the future don't seem to work with the date on 32-bit Linux.
Fun idea otherwise. You should report back in a month or so if you're still using it.
People still use 32-bit OSs?
But seriously, you could probably shell out to something else. Or you could change the output - it doesn't have to be in seconds or minutes. For example, you could call
dateto get the current year, and subtract that against 2074 or whatever.
