The extra second happens for everybody at 23:59:60 UTC, which is in about three hours. Make sure you're ready for it! -- Dave Tweed

I'm going to watch and see what my radio controlled atomic clock does. The one that's SO accurate that I have to set it twice a year. They assumed that everywhere does DST.

Me too. I built a GPS clock that displays UTC. It's only 2.5 hours now until the leap second. Ever since I got the clock working, its little 'leap-second-pending' lamp has been on. The suspense is killing me. I need to get out more, I guess.

From: Neal McBurnett <EraseMEnealspam_OUTTakeThisOuTbcn.boulder.co.us> The first leap second since 1998 comes today at 23:59:60 UTC (19:59:60 Eastern Standard Time).

Another WWVB clock didn't seem to be getting any signal at all. It was about 3-4 seconds fast to begin with, and the leap second just made it worse... -- Dave Tweed

He is in the Mtn time zone so it's 6 hours for him. Wayne -- Real computer scientists despise the idea of actual hardware. Hardware has limitations, software doesn't. It's a real shame that Turing machines are so poor at I/O. _______________________________________________________

It was a sublime experience. My wife sat on my knee, and I drank a beer while waiting. The clock read 23:59:59 for two seconds in a row, and then the 'leap-second-pending' led went out. I wonder if I will ever see it lit again. Neil -- http://www.pixpopuli.com
