So, um. . . about that new DST start date. . .

I just noticed that my options are set that I get my time indicated as GMT -5.00 Eastern Time. The Boards are telling me that it’s currently 9:15PM at the bottom of the page. When I post this, I’m a-gonna see what time it tells me I posted.

So it could be that it’s just the bottom ‘o’ the page timestamp. But give me a second and I’ll post a response. . .

And a one, and a two and a. . .

Well, now it seems to have worked just fine. I’m now at GMT -4.00 on the bottom of the page.

As you were, or as you oughtta be. . .

Interesting. My browser has a mind of it’s own.

3 weeks of emails, a couple of automatic downloads, mandatory reboots on all computers in the lab… and every single one of them hasn’t adjusted their time. “Please be patient, we are working on it!”

Ok, not EVERY one of them… we have two systems. One entire network is fine, the other isn’t. But still…!
