We spent our leapsecond reading books by kerosene lamp as the power failure continued...

I was dinning at an Argentinean restaurant with my wife and some friends of her. Armed with a 3G Internet equipped iPad and sharing the story with the people at the table.

Re: [time-nuts] So, how did you spend your leapsecond?
Well, one of my reference standards - and the most expensive - worked through the leap second thus:- 58 59 00 01 02 etc. To be fair though, it predates the Leap Second by a few years and there are no applicable firmware updates. For those who are interested, it was manufactured by Wm. Thompson of Newbury, England around 1765. Other time references, Thunderbolt/Lady Heather etc. all worked as others have stated.

Re: [time-nuts] So, how did you spend your leapsecond?
After watching Blade Runner (the director cut) reposition on a TV channel, that ended just one minute before 2am local time, I watched my nixie clock to, as I was expecting, held 02:00:00 (local time) by two seconds. Surely its GPS (an M12T) sent the right time to the uC, 23:59:60 UTC... but I'm guilty of not taking into account leap seconds when I implemented the UTC to local time conversion, including automatic daylight savings (that was about 9 years ago, I think... not a time nut then ;) ). Well, I note the bug for the day when the daylight saving change and then I should upgrade the firmware :) It has been the first opportunity to me to watch a leap second (or so...) since those ones at the end of year ever finds me quite far from home and from any timing piece other than the clock at the square where I've traveled to for the new years eve :) Regards, Javier El 01/07/2012 02:07, Mark Sims escribió: ? ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.

Re: [time-nuts] So, how did you spend your leapsecond?
I was invited to dinner with friends, so I took some stuff with me. Before dinner, I explained the concept of leap second to the hosts' 8-year old daughter. She understood leap years already, and I think she understood the leap second explanation too. As the appointed time (8 PM here, in EDT land): - An Apple iPhone running Emerald Time displayed 19:59:60 flawlessly. - I tried to use a web browser on an iPad to display www.time.gov. That was a dismal failure, probably because the time.gov web page uses Flash for its counting clock, and Apple doesn't support Flash. So the page was there, but there was no clock. - But my host had his PC laptop out, he was displaying www.time.gov too, and it did show 19:59:60. So we got to see it there. - My Casio WaveCeptor watch, which had synced successfully with Fort Collins at midnight this morning, did nothing. So it's now running 1 second fast. It will probably reset itself overnight, but that means it's displaying the wrong time for 4 hours or more. Tsk tsk. However, I didn't bring a video camera, so I have no images of any of this. My hosts had never seen a leap second before, and they thought it was neat. Dave PS: I looked up leap second on Wikipedia one hour after the event, and someone had already updated the photo to show the most recent leap second from the NIST page (not that it's likely to be much different from the previous time). ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
Re: [time-nuts] So, how did you spend your leapsecond?
Via the internet from Chile I confirmed my own Datum time server doesn't actually support leap seconds (as expected.) Over dinner two of my colleagues asked me when I am going to adjust my time server to account for the leap second and then proceeded to accuse me of having plans for domination by maintaining my own time scale (: We have been on a long business trip in Latin America and this gave us another topic to discuss over dinner and drinks so all was good (: Sent from my iPod On 2012-06-30, at 8:07 PM, Mark Sims hol...@hotmail.com wrote: ? ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
