PotD - Monday 3/12/07 Did the early daylights saving time cause you any problems?

[Rob]

Nope, but I did have a few people in the arcade yesterday complaining they were an hour late to the movies. Apparently some cell phone companies did not adjust their time.

[MasterChief]

My cell phone reset itself but I forgot to adjust my alarm clock so i woke up from a nap an hour later than I thought I did. Oops!

[OldsterHolster]

No problems, but it sure is still really dark outside as I check the forum and get ready for work. Most people complain, but I like the change. I'm a nap person, and I really like still having lots of daylight left when I get up from a nap. Edward.

I hate loosing an hours worth of valuable sleep time but other than that, nothing bad happened.

Grouchy.

[Eddie Ismail]

I'm with Mara here.

My phones adjusted automatically, but I had to change my PC and my car's clocks, and Edward, it WAS wtill dark when I woke up too.

[Rob]

Last night when leaving work it was still light outside! Woot. I hated losing the hour of sleep, and what is worse, it really messes up our daily schedule when it comes time for feeding and naps for the little one, but the extra hour of light means I can take her out to the park after work instead of being cramped up in our apartment all night long.

[O'C]

No. Everything seems to be okay. I just hope the TIVO records 24 and Prison Break okay tonight. :scared:

[Circlebreaker]

No problems yet, but when it gets changed here next week, I do expect some difficulty (especially with the 'getting up one hour earlier' part :wink:)

[Ojnod]

My computer and cell phone auto adjusted but even my car stereo did, which really surprised me. I guess it got the data from the Sirius tuner or something.

[Rafal Dudek]

I want my extra sleep hour back damnit! :p:

[RangerRick]

I want my extra sleep hour back damnit! :p:


You'll get it in November!!! :p:

[Chylde Roland]

No problems here, either. I set my analog clocks/watches ahead and eevrything else adjusted automatically just fine.

[RHooks]

My sun dial is self adjusting.

[O'C]

My sun dial is self adjusting.

You've got one of those high-tech timepieces, do ya? That's pretty swanky. My rooster hasn't made the adjustment too well yet.

[Karlsweldt]

With no "schedule" deadlines or time constraints, I set the clocks ahead the next day.. all 14 of them. My SATV reciever did its own thing! No hassle for most of us, but pity the poor store clerks that have to reset hundreds of clocks on display. Tourneau's Jewlers in NYC notes it takes them more than 3 days to reset all timepieces!!!!!!! :eek: :crazy:

[Jaffa]

I had to reboot the servers at work after changing the time but then all was fine. That's what I get for still having NT servers.

[Cloudw4lker]

I've got a week off school right now, and it was a weekend. I had a LAN party last night and some people were mildly confused about the time, but after 12 hours of video gaming, you don't really know the difference between 5 am and 6 am.

[Shoboy]

I fail to see the logic in saving money by doing this. As I'm told by "official" sources, as in our stupid government, that we wont turn the lights on as early in the evening thus saving money and energy. Yea, ok, but I've NEVER heard any moronic "pundit" or gov person explain that now that it's DARK in the MORNING, I have to TURN ON THE LIGHTS now in order to see anything.

[OldsterHolster]

Well, I unchecked the "automatically adjust for daylight savings time" box and reset my computer clock. Now, a week later, I woke up this morning and found my computer clock was an hour behind, again. Go figure, huh?

I just reset it, of course, but I thought it was interesting that my computer seemed to have a mind of it's own, and apparently doesn't like the early change, either. Heh, heh. Edward.

[DanTheManPR]

My computer and cell phones figured it out automagically. As did my atomic wall clock. Hehehe.

It isn't too easy to reconfigure the data for the DST change in Windows. For anyone who needs it, there is a "TZ edit" download available at Microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/gp/dst_topissues) as well as other MS products and some third-party software.
Too bad MS didn't auto-update the users.. they had more than 6 months!!
