A leap second will be added to the clock at 12/31/2008 23:59:59 UTC tonight. Clocks will go: 12/31/2008 23:59:58 Hopefully most IT folks will be otherwise occupied at that time and not focusing on their system clocks. Have a Happy 1-second Delayed New Year. David Goldsmith |

Best wishes for 2009 to the ISC crew and all visitors of this site! Btw although 2009 will be one second longer for everyone east of Greenwich (including me at +0100), 2008 was an extremely long year for everyone else (one leap day plus one leap second). However, measured in seconds, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second 1972 was a longer year! Of interest to readers interested in forensics may be that Unix time (#seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC)does NOT take leap seconds into account. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time for the trickery involved.
