Be patient guys, moving on to year 2006 just take a second longer than usual.
Wait a sec for leap into 2006
WASHINGTON (Reuters) — Get ready for a minute with 61 seconds. Scientists are delaying the start of 2006 by the first “leap second” in seven years, a timing tweak meant to make up for changes in the Earth’s rotation.
The adjustment will be carried out by sticking an extra second into atomic clocks worldwide at the stroke of midnight Coordinated Universal Time, the widely adopted international standard, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology said this week.
“Enjoy New Year’s Eve a second longer,” the institute said in an explanatory notice. “You can toot your horn an extra second this year.”

2005 is a great year for technology. I see lots of advances. Google came out with lots of interesting stuff. In Singapore the internet broadband speed greatly increased too.
Even the games are more fun, Civilizations 4, Age of Empires 3, Battle for Middle Earth and lots more. These are the games that excite me. With so many interesting things that happen this year, let’s just enjoy another second more of 2005.

pketh: Gay men’s magazines? It’s probably there because I added the text “Men’s Health” magazine. But the magazine isn’t gay though. I don’t know how the ‘gay’ word got there, lol…
To all: Happy new year!
