Re: can anyone make sense from this, timestamp? da Reply #2 - Jan 20th, 2007, 8:22pm   yep, it's only Procsessing .. i need to call it about 6600 * 4 times. don't wanna spawn into php for that. i tried: Code: long timestamp = 1144340899; java.util.Date d = new java.util.Date(timestamp); println( d ); java.sql.Timestamp systemDate = new java.sql.Timestamp(1144340899); println( systemDate ); which both give totally wrong results ... i still think it's a timestamp, but i can't see how it's encoded. any ideas?
