So, newyears consisted of working on a simple HTTP proxy-like script (in Python) until 23:56 when I got called downstairs to watch the NYC ball drop thing on TV. The ball dropped, just like every year, and there was much rejoicing. 0:01 I said that I’ll be upstairs coding some more. :-)

Except those 5 minutes, a typical midnight.

  2. Two things.. 1) I mentioned the leap second in October (link) 2) You are wrong. The leap second according to the link you quoted:
    A positive leap second will be introduced at the end of December 2005. The sequence of dates of the UTC second markers will be: 2005 December 31, 23h 59m 59s 2005 December 31, 23h 59m 60s 2006 January 1, 0h 0m 0s
    It supposed to be inserted at the end of December 31 UTC time. Which means that it happened at 19:00 EST.

  6. Ok, it compiles now. I recommend you submit it to lkml. But before you do, you should have: 1) some description of the patch (one line should be good enough) 2) the appropriate Signed-off-by line 3) you might also have to prove that you didn't steal this from SCO... :-D

  7. If you cared about interoperability you would use EDOOFUS like FreeBSD, Dumbass.
