Seems like I should have looked more carefully.

That's looks like the way it works.  Certainly more accurate then

What else would we all be doing then?! *8)  Then again you're in Canada
and the leap second is being added at 23:59:59 UTC.  That means in your

Of course there's another site I should have mentioned too.  All the
