Darkness Losing Time - Annoyances - Misc
Posted on: 2006-04-04 03:46:24

Early Sunday morning, things changed. I am still not sure why or how, but my night got shorter. I lost an hour. Well, I did not really lose it. I mean, I was up the entire time, no drugs, no alcohol, nothing. It was just gone. The clocks went from 2-3 to apparently "save daylight". I did not even know it was in trouble and needed to be saved. Come to find out, this happens in a lot of places. People arbitrarily add and subtract an hour to their clocks all the time apparently in order to "save daylight". Well, you know what, a long time back they invented these wierd things called lightbulbs that provide light all the time. Funny thing is, you don't have to change the time on clocks in order to use these new fangled lightbulbs. They just happen to work all the time.

One thing, site related, that this time shift has brought a little more to light, is the fact that our server is in a different time zone than us. They always have been, and until recently, that has meant that our posts would display an hour off since I just used the system time for posts. Well, now we are two hours different and now it is annoying to me. So, I am going to have to fix it somehow. Not tonight though, I still have a lot to do before class tomorrow...and I eventually would like a couple of hours of sleep.


Damn you!

Damn you Ben Franklin, why didn't you stop at Poor Richard's Almanac and seducing young french women at your beer fueled orgies. Damn you to hell!

French women are dirty sluts

And Ben Franklin proves it. He got so much play, and because he "saved some daylight"? They would have found any reason to bang him, no matter how totally-not-hot he was.

I warned you it was dumb

So you're Eastern or Central now? I can no longer say Hoosiers are smart. Sad, sad day. *winks*

Well,

We are on Eastern, because that is what you would expect to be on in the mid-west.

Bunnies??

Depends on the county though, some didn't change and others changed to central time.

Eastern?

...but you're farther west than Lgt?

Now that's fucked up!
