PHP lags 23 seconds
Bug report # 35958 must have the most obscure one ever:
"strftime usually returns a string from the number of seconds since 1 jan 1970. Now, it lags and returns a string representing 23 seconds too late."
If you know what's going on though, it isn't really that weird. Every once in a while the IERS announces a new leap second to "keep the broadcast standards for time of day close to mean solar time ". At the moment the difference is 23 seconds which is reflected in comparing the leap second adjusted time zone information file with the non-adjusted one. You can see the leap second with this little shell script:
#!/bin/bash export TZ=Europe/Amsterdam date --date "@1136073621" date --date "@1136073622" date --date "@1136073623" export TZ=right/Europe/Amsterdam date --date "@1136073621" date --date "@1136073622" date --date "@1136073623"
The output is:
Sun Jan 1 01:00:21 CET 2006 Sun Jan 1 01:00:22 CET 2006 Sun Jan 1 01:00:23 CET 2006 Sun Jan 1 00:59:59 CET 2006 Sun Jan 1 00:59:60 CET 2006 Sun Jan 1 01:00:00 CET 2006
The output with the "right/Europe/Amsterdam" timezone is actually the correct time, but this will obviously confused too many computer programs. Most often you will not see this one in use.
The new date/time code in PHP 5.1 does not support the leap second either. I was playing with it while developing, but thought it to be to confusing. Seems I was right there :)

The Early Cormorant Catches the Eel
Sorry, not the best photo! But I caught this Cormorant catching this large eel when looking for Bank Swallows, right next to Eel Pie Island in the Thames.

Updated an estate_agent office
I went to my nieces' birthday party yesterday.
The theme was pink, and that included all the food, mostly died with beet root.
Shock and horror this morning when doing number two. Not only was my turd dark red, it was also glittering at me. Apparently the carrot cake had edible glitter...
So now I know what's worse than glitter.

I've been spending some time in random London local nature reserves.
Sitting and listening, and in fifteen minutes you spot countless species.
This one was in Ham Lands Local Nature Reserve near Teddington.
