How to convert long/milliseconds to DateTime?

I tried this already:

t = Time.at(1161275493444)
puts t

Resulting in:
Exception: bignum too big to convert into `long'

irb(main):001:0> Time.at( 1161275493444 / 1000 )
=> Thu Oct 19 10:31:33 -0600 2006

Time#at takes its argument as the number of seconds since the epoch, not
milliseconds.

You were close! :slight_smile:
