Javascript Unixtime
Just a note of how to get Unixtime in Javascipt.
var date_obj = new Date;
var unixtime_ms = date_obj.getTime();
var unixtime = parseInt(unixtime_ms / 1000);Also a Javascript Unixtime conversion utility.

Use multiplication over division, it's much faster. Also, Math.Floor is faster than parseInt var unixtime = Math.Floor(unixtime_ms.valueOf() * 0.001);

Use the optimizations Andrew gave. Plus, faster still than Math.floor is:
var unixtime = (new Date().getTime() * 0.001)|0;
Because it removes the extra namespace lookup and function call (see Ecmascript spec 11.10 - the behavior is explicitly specified).

Also, valueOf (as per Andrew's comment) is slightly faster than getTime:
var unixtime = (new Date().valueOf() * 0.001)|0;

parseInt(+new Date() / 1000);
