So How Did Your Leap-Second Go?
At noon today NZ time, an extra second was inserted into UTC, the time kept by the world’s atomic clocks. The time that was one second before midnight UTC (one second before noon NZST) became two seconds before intead: after 23:59:59 UTC came 23:59:60 UTC, before ticking over to 0:00:00 UTC. The previous time this happened, three years ago, several Linux-based systems malfunctioned. No word yet on how this one went... <http://lwn.net/Articles/648313/>

In my team at work, we look after about 200 Linux servers. Only one failed (which happened to be the server that send us error notifications), and we suspect it was due to a binary application from a vendor, rather than the server itself, or the open source applications installed on it. -- Simon Green.
Our ISP went down -- both our main Fibre core, plus our failover VDSL link ate dust: Major Network Outage 1. Jul. 2015 - 13:08 We apologise for a major network outage today which was traced to a leap second being added which caused one of our core network elements to lock. Service was disrupted at 12:00pm and fully restored at 12:21. https://wanna.net.nz Eric -------------------------------------------- Q: Why is this email five sentences or less?
