I want to have a countdown to a unix timestamp:
Where it counts down in seconds

Like this:

Expires in: 1d 10h 52m 25s

Heres an example timestamp:
1303725600

    I just made one of those. http://chrischerry.name/coachella

    Check out the source for some ideas on how to do it. The “destination” date however isn’t specified by a unix time stamp but that’s easy enough to do.

    var date = new Date(unix_timestamp*1000);

    Its multiplied by 1000 because the javascript Date() wants the time in milliseconds, and unixtimestamps are in seconds.
