I know the technical definition, but I never followed it and don't know of anybody who did either.

Anyways, I am planning on doing some network maintenance at work and I sent out a notice that I was planning on doing it at Tuesday at Midnight.

If you were to be on my mailing list and you got that message, would you assume that I was doing it tonight or tomorrow night?

Technically speaking if I were doing it Tuesday at midnight, then I would be doing it tonite (or rather tomorrow morning at 0:00:01). Thus midnight would be the start of the day. However I don't know of many people who actually followed that. Generally people consider midnight as the end of the day, or so I thought

My colleague got a bit anal on me and made a big fuss about when exactly I am doing the upgrade. I should've known.

I want to know when people are asked to be somewhere Tuesday at midnight, if they would show up at 0:00:01 on Monday morning or 11:59:59 on Tuesday night. Thats a 24 hour difference (less 2 seconds for those who are anal with minute details)

(maybe mods can even make this into a poll?)
