Thanks for the tip. I know of a few other CBT training sites but haven't been terribly pleased with them. That's worth a look.

As far as the challenge goes, I'll bite. Convert Epoch Time (raw filesystem data, database timestamps, etc) to human readable timestamp with perl on the command-line. Example:

$ perl -e 'print scalar localtime('1201017672'); print "\n";'
