This workflow has three major functions, which are really only useful for developers.

1. Fetch current unix timestamp.
2. Convert a unix timestamp into the DATETIME format.
3. Fetch a unix timestamp for a future date.

Examples:

1. "ts" : 1363987228
2. "ts 1363987228" : 2013-03-22 05:20:28 
3. "ts next thursday" : 1364443200
4. "ts 3/5/2013" : 1362502800
5. "ts 1 year ago" : 1332451288

The results are displayed as a notification and copied into the clipboard.  You may optionally edit the workflow and enable pasting into the foremost application.

 

Note that this workflow uses a PHP script, and so uses the date.timezone value in your Mac's php.ini file.  If you get inaccurate timestamps, check that value (usually found at /etc/php.ini.default).
