Remember to change your clocks!

Just thought I'd remind everyone to change their clocks for the Daylights Savings Time change.
 
Sorry, I forgot about the automatic set forward that a lot of operating systems do.:blush:
 
My Timex 313B Auto-Set Dual-Alarm Preset-Tuning Clock Radio quietly and firmly insisted on resetting itself for DST at 2 AM today, and I was eventually forced to manually reprogram it with a small ball-peen hammer.
I cannot very highly recommend the Timex 313B Auto-Set Dual-Alarm Preset-Tuning Clock Radio.

Whatever Internet time server my Windows XP system uses did not know that daylight savings time started in March. And it still thought it started today. Come on, people!

Allow me to remind you to check todays date before falling for Art's trick.

Happy April Fools day to you too, Art.
 
You're all using this new-fangled Gregorian Calendar. I'm still on Julian. No daylight saving and it's compatible with Linux.
 
Thought this was an April Fool's until I realized my computer had added the hour to its time :)
 
Ha, at least I don't need to worry about these issues with the clock in the ham shack- it stays on GMT and save for an occasional tweak never gets changed.

On the other hand, the computer clock did it's usual shift to DST even though I did that back in march. But it was easier to take 10 seconds and bump it back an hour than hunt around for a Windows patch, download it, get it in the proper file and reboot the computer....and hope it didn't have any bugs to deal with.
 
Twice a year, my husband and I look at all of the timekeeping devices around the house (house, woodshop, office, two vehicles), look at each other, and smile at how nice it is to live in a place that doesn't participate in that nonsense.

And two other times a year, you and your husband run around and set the clocks so they are accurate.

You've gained nothing! :D

Or if you're using Windows 2000 you have to manually do it via Ye Olde Registry hacking. :(

Not that it is a big deal and all, it is just that I am lazy. :covereyes

Here in Arizona we don't have DST. So as long as my computer knows it's in Arizona, I can just sit back and watch you all run around like chickens with your heads cut off. :p
