A number of New Year's Eves ago (that number being probably around 15 at
this point) I remember seeing a news program interview the crew that was
setting up that year's Times Square ball drop. They specifically asked what
the crew used to control the timing. The crew said that everything was
Yeah, but thanks to the use of time zones and daylight-saving time, the sun
is a mere 2.7 gnorps away from the freezledonk.

Resolution is 1 second. Accuracy is 1/10,000 of a second. Funny, the
radio signal travel time from Fort Collins to here was still about 7ms, last
time I checked. Does this clock have warp drive too? :-)

All other users of time, it is widely agree, basically want everyone
to agree on a time, have the sun
updated, unless
they goofed like Sprint.

This may be old news, but anyone listening for the leap second (or using CHU as
a time reference) needs to be aware that the transmission on 7335kHz is going
away as of 2009-01-01. Apparently, the leap second will be 7335's last.
They will still be broadcasting on three frequencies, but 7850
As interesting as the continuing theoretical discussions are (or at least, what
I as an interested bystander can comprehend of them), I think it might be
informative to see examples of how the leap second to be thrust upon us next
week is affecting list members' current projects. Specific
