    Hmm, sounds like we're gaining time again. I actually did start to notice this again. I guess -tk has given us A moment please!!! :p



    If you don't get that, look at his title. If you're a member of the forum staff, please ignore the fact I just used that line a couple hours ago in staff. ;D

    Now six minutes fast.

    At this rate, you won't even have to adjust it for DST... :buck:

    Hmm... maybe I should rethink basing the stats updates off of the server time... :aol:

    Well here in the UK, last weekend, we put the clocks forward one hour (British summer time) so now it's one hour six minutes!
    Or is it 54 minutes? anyway it's wrong.

    We in sweden did the same thing. Juat noticed that the server time was about 5 minutes in front of local time. Server says 11.33 but local is 11.29.

    Like the S-M Byte says:
    [T]he clock is right. It's always right. Adjust your local time to match Shortmediatime.
    Obey all that is good and Short and... uh... Media-like."

    Lost the Daylight Saving Time adjustment.

    The minutes are correct, the site is now one hour slow compared to my local time. I tried to force DST in CP=>Options but it didn't work.

    (EDIT) Update: Now we're back to being seven minutes fast... :vimp:

    It's all been funny up to now, but I've had the time switch from page to page. I made the second post in a thread and it showed up as the first.

    Hmm... Noticed your posts had earlier time, showed up in almost post order, for SOME threads-- in others, they show up as later, earlier time.

    Admins, there is a decent clock at http://www.time.gov/ .... PLEASE????


    HMMM.... That one time-stamped FINE.... Sheesh. house clocks here are 3.5 min slow from atomic time. There is a good Tier 2 NNTP server at nntp.shorty.com (not kidding, it really does exist) Can someone cron or at the time update for daily or twice daily time sync???? Time on *nix goes WILD with manual updates....

    sorry about the time, we've been having some firewall/ntp problems. Not to mention the bearings in the hamster wheel that powers the server are about seized up. All should be well now. (I hope)
