I've been meaning to blog about the leap second bug in our GPS timeclock detected 3 months ago when it prematurely implemented a leap second at 10am one fine morning. Good thing I implemented monitoring on the timeservers despite the dinosaur herder's protestations of "we don't no steenking monitoring". I'm fully expecting to get into work this afternoon to encounter a 15 arcsec pointing error, because I'm pretty sure we never got around to fixing the automatic parsing of the IAU bulletins in the implementation of the UTC-TAI calculation in the new telescope control system.
