Akta er för skottsekund på 30 juni/1 juli 2015

[Dr. Miles]

Natten mellan 30 juni och 1 juli 2015 läggs det en extra sekund, Skottsekund (Leap second på engelska).

Förra Skottsekund i 2012 orsakade dataproblem hos Amadeus och Qantas hade mer än 400 flighter som var försenade pga detta.

The Amadeus airline reservation system was disrupted for more than two hours on Sunday, as were a number of high-profile websites including Mozilla, Reddit, Gawker, LinkedIn, FourSquare and Yelp as the "leap second" introduced as the day began confused web servers around the world.

In an echo of the "Y2K" bug that was expected to – but didn't – befuddle computers around the world on 1 January 2000, travellers in Australia, where the effects were felt first as the leap second was introduced, saw more than 400 Qantas flights delayed by as much as two hours. Staff were forced to switch to manual check-ins.

Inte så mycket att göra någonting åt saken, men det kanske är bra att veta att eventuellt problem kan bestå på 1 juli 2015.

På skottdagar får ju brudarna fria, är det samma denna sekund?
Är det därför vi ska akta oss?? ;-)
