Default daylight saving time - this weekend

Is it today, tomorrow or Monday?

Sunday at 2:00am (tonight), like it always is, the only thing that's changed is the week it's happening.

Set your clocks ahead one hour before you go to bed tonight, or right after you wake up tomorrow.

Just a reminder: Unless you have Windows Vista, you will need to manually set your computer clock ahead an hour tonight and back an hour in 3 weeks at the normal date.

Unless you update Windows using automatic updates. If so, the patch was applied a while ago already and setting the time yourself will end up with you being an hour ahead of everyone else.

Was watching the news last night, and the story seemed to be a copy of the Year 2000 bug. They were talking about technology failing, some services will be interrupted.... yada yada yada. Unbelievable.

That's only if you have Windows ME or earlier. XP and 2000 are supported and you should have the necessary patch if you keep your Microsoft updates up-to-date.

You can double-check that you have the update here: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cp_dst

I got a kick out of the Daily Show spot on this. They edited the systems analyst's words to say that this change was "going to cause mass chaos" because what he actually said was "that this wasn't a problem" and that was a boring news story.

I'll likely get a call from one of my parents tomorrow asking for help.

If you use outlook and it's schedules, don't forget to update that with a patch too.

Although the CRM software at work wasn't happy with this update. It should be interesting tomorrow - I fully expect a frantic phonecall tomorrow.

Hey, look at that...my computer now says it's 3:00. So does my Shaw PVR.

Ain't technology great?


EDIT...

A brief hiccup in the Forum software originally showed this message posted at 1:02am, but it's properly showing 3:02am. Technology wins again.


Damn...3AM, I gotta go to sleep.
