PSA: Move your clock ahead 1 hr tonight!

[Baked]

It's that time of the year again where if you live in one of states that forces you to change your clock (except for Arizona, screw you guys).

kthnxbye

Damn that sucks. If I start drinking now, I'll be in bed by 8:00 and all's good.

 

[coldmeat]

My clocks are still an hour ahead from last year.

 

[Fingolfin269]

Finally.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Bah sucks losing an hour.

I actually did it yesterday. It feels more seamless that way. Though all the stuff that goes by NTP will only change tonight.

 

[Crono]

My favorite times of the year 🙂

 

[ElFenix]

i like getting out of work at 4:30 but why can't i just call it 4:30 instead of 5:30?

 

[MustISO]

My clock will reset automagically.

Can't we soon just abolish winter time??? :/

This comes up every time, and yeah, it would definitely be a good idea. I bet if there was a vote passed most people would agree we should just abolish it completely. Pick one, stay with it.

 

[T_Yamamoto]

oh no

 

[coloumb]

Too bad 2 year olds do not adjust immediately to the time change. 🙁

 

[zanemoseley]

Hell ya. Now I can start fitting in 18 holes of golf after work on friday before it gets dark.

Move to Arizona, we don't do it.

 

[MovingTarget]

Move to Arizona, we don't do it.

One of the advantages of Arizona, I guess. Monday morning will have me thinking long and hard about moving there...

 

[Krynj]

Works out for me. Working an overnight shift tonight. My shift will be cut an hour short, and I'll still get paid for it.

 

[sdifox]

Obligatory rile against changing time. Just pick one and stick with it.

In an age when we never leave the basement and all time is now and the sun has as much relevance in our daily lives as it does to the crew of the Enterprise, I say we all switch to GMT and and call it good. It makes server script writing that much easier. Yes, my webhost changes the time zone setting on my server. Yes, they do this manually. Yes, they do it when they remember to, not when the the time change actually occurs. Yes, this breaks my scripts twice a year.

My computer and phone will take care of themselves. My car will require a little adjustment.

That's why you're not supposed to rely on the machine's timezone, but rather supposed to set this manually.

In fact, PHP gives a rather stern warning about this when your timezone is taken from the machine rather than defined in the php.ini file.

Either way, I'm likely to have lots of phone calls on Monday about peoples' phones that didn't automatically adjust. Fuck this shit.

if it wasn't for the dumb stove and microwave, i'd only have one clock to change

Your car is smart too? 🙁

My aftermarket radio isn't difficult to adjust, but I hate it.

And I think my Zune needs manual adjustment too, stupid thing. And my alarm radio, though my cell pulls that function for most of the alarms.

I got up at 4:30 this morning according to the old time, and did laundry. Time to do some exercise so I can get those 6 packs going.

A bit early to be drinking I think. 😉
