user1830: The JSON-RPC would return the time in this format "time": 1346289025. How exactly do I read it? I don't know what  kind of format it is. So what time is 1346289025?

user403: It's unix time, the number of seconds since January 1, 1970. Your programming language probably has an easy standard way of converting it to a date.
