Canada National Research Council Spreads some of their $310M

I always like to keep an eye on the NRC and what Canada’s top scientific minds are up to. The NRC also serves as an economic tool for the government of Canada to effect economic policy. I also use the NRC atomic clocks for syncronisation to Canadian sources, although given the boomerang to the United States, it’s not always so effective at being the “closest” network source for time.

Web clock

Set some of your NTP servers to:
time.nrc.ca
time.chu.nrc.ca

Although this is now Stratum-2. For some reason you can’t get stratum 1 NTP anymore. Did this slip under the radar of most people?

No more IP access to the atomic clock itself. Sorry.

Shalt Marvel indeed.
