In reality,sometimes something would be wrong if you hard-coding 1
minute as 60 seconds.
Please read:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=strftime
"The range of seconds is (00-60) instead of (00-59) to allow for the
periodic occurrence of leap seconds."

so,it's a bad habit including hard-coding 1 minute as 60 seconds.
