What's the first one then?

As the epoch is signed, the first date might refer to December 1901, at least for a 32-bit number.

If it’s seconds past the Epoch, the integer 1 would be January 1st, 1970 12:00:01 AM

I guess which it should be date 1. With the date expressed in milliseconds that'd make it 999 milliseconds earlier than what you wrote.

12:00:01 would be the time at which the guy finally came.
