Dear everyone who posted a LJ entry to note the fact that their computers inserted the leap second properly:

I'm on an ancient win98 box, i'm just glad that it deals with the regular seconds ok.

The leap second is inserted at midnight UTC, not local time.

teferi, you are like the biggest nerd I know, which is saying a lot. I mean, you posted an entry about people posting about the leap second.

I am pleased to say that you are the only person on my friends list that mentioned it on LiveJournal.

But I do have friends that asked how I would spend my extra second...

I spent half an hour reading about how Unix time deals with leap seconds and the pros and cons of making Unix time a representation of UTC rather than an exact tally of number of seconds since the epoch. Does that count?
