Obviousoly they have better things to do than program their website computer to show the correct atomic time vis a vis the year-date-hour calendar. Silly me. And they're off partying now .. not time to FOF or deal with details.

I'm off to my own affairs. . Happy New Year to all TB2000!

Sorry. There's a link under an earlier thread -- "25th Hour of December 31, 1999". Hey. If they can't get get the calendar website on the WORLD UNIVERSAL TIME CLOCK rigth, I'm going to continue as a link-impaired lurker.

So what's a little mistake with a clock. We all know what time it is.

Sounds similar to the 19100 glitch.

Keep your eyes and ears open!

Gee. The premier website for the Greenwich Countdown. Sponsored by the state-run National Physcial Laboratories!!! Atomic time!

We all know what day it is too, and what month and what year. Just 'cause the clock-calendar on this website is so FUBAR that it's butting 26 hours into one day ........ HEY!!! Now, I recognize NPL is "NATIONAL PHYSICAL LABORATORY" not 'NATIONAL PROGRAMMING LABORATORY". And one of these days, after the partying, after the weekend -- maybe on Monday -- they'll come in and fix everything. ANd the bankers. if they're clocks are computing interest for a perpetual December 31, 1999 -- they'll take care of it on Monday. Just a stupid clock thing. Ignore it.

what happens to the calendar clock when it reaches 100 hours? lockup?

looks like an error to me. can you spell GIGO?

That clock display works in conjunction with your PC and your JAVA. So, what you see is partially based on data from that site, and partially based on factors within your PC. This may help indicate why different people are getting different readings.
