I spent the last week or so of 2008 trying to scrub a particularly nasty virus/trojan horse from the operating system of the Casa Aloha H.Q. computer system. Yesterday I finally got down to (what I think) were the offending files and rooted them out. So far so good. I only wish I could run the same program on my immune system, which has also been infected with a particularly nasty virus/trojan horse...which in fact, caused me to miss the New Yars Eve Celebrashion for the first time in many decades.
Anyhoo - as you may know, this year we added a leap second to the official clocks around the world. The BBC has a nifty little bit right here that has a video on how they add or subtract seconds from the Big Ben clock.
