I'm working on some code right now that can do something hourly, every minute, or every second.

It bugs me that the English vocabulary includes hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly, but nothing for minutes and seconds.

Think anybody would mind if I started using 'minutely' and 'secondly'?

(Oops... I just realized "secondly" is already used for something else (even if it's a little goofy sounding: think "firstly" and "secondly"). We can't have two meaning for the same word now, can we?)
