Thanks to PHK for grabbing lots of reports. As with the previous leap there are lots of fingers being pointed. Last time (the end of 2008) the Zune MP3 players were down all day, but that was because they could not handle the 366th day of a year -- they could not handle the leap year instituted by Caesar.
Can we make a list of what we know? Here are some things that were not the leap second. Friday night a derecho formed over Indiana and blew all the way to Maryland. In the process it took lots of power lines and knocked down an Amazon cloud datacenter in Virginia. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/06/30/amazon_cloud_storm_outage/ The Pirate Bay is now reported not to be due to a leap second http://torrentfreak.com/leap-second-did-not-crash-the-pirate-bay-120701/ The "half the internet down" thread on buzzfeed contains comments indicating that fark also went down because of a planned server move. http://www.buzzfeed.com/summeranne/y2k-20-how-a-second-brought-down-half-the-intern -- Steve Allen <s...@ucolick.org> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory--ISB Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99855 1156 High Street Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06015 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
