    Looks like we have one coming up in June.

    How exciting.

    I wonder if that will fix the tear in the time-space continuum in my shop??
    When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.

    Leap seconds can be a real hassle with a pendulum clock.

    There's no cure for that.
    It requires a sacrifice.

    I recommend Ensign Crusher.

    Well it went so swimmingly well the last couple of times... I'm just suuuure there will be no problems

    This is a fun summary of fail the last time around, mostly in java apps. We can (perhaps vainly) hope that people are handling it a bit better this round. Overall on par with y2k for visible outages, probably because of poorer preparedness.

    I'm counting on this to return my hair and my ability to reach the floor without the currently requisite grunt.

    Good recommendation.

    But if the USS Voyager shows up, Seven of Nine is definitely staying.

    I've been streaming Voyager via Netflix for several weeks now...almost done. I'm naming any new daughters, Seven.
