Thinking about it more, I'm not sure you really need to use an FFT.
If you just want the best approximation to the period of the signal, then maybe you should use Linear Regression.
Use something like:
rawTimes = [82473035994223.000000
82473036321275.000000
82473036758714.000000
82473037152621.000000
82473037463611.000000
82473037735504.000000
82473038019083.000000
82473038281295.000000
82473038636703.000000
82473039013925.000000
82473039348376.000000
82473039596255.000000
# etc.];
X = rawTimes .- rawTimes(1); # unlike Solution 1, these no longer need to be integer
Y = 1:(size(X)(1));
fit = polyfit(X, Y', 1);
period = 1./fit(1);
period
is the best fit, in timestamp units, of the interval between "events"
With these 12 points the period is about 325441.8
