What time is it? My computer and the time card clock at my work are both back one hour for some reason. But daylights savings (or is it dumpings this time?) doesn't start to November 4th, right?

The clocks changed in the UK this weekend (boo!). This is the time change where you get an hour extra in bed (yay!)

The clocks changed in most states here this weekend, but not ours, which is fucking insane, because our city straddles the border. Now we have a different time on one side of the street to the other side. Think about what that means to people who live on one side and work/go to school on the other. Fucking stupid politicians and their fading curtains.

No, I don't know what fucking time it is. Depends where you're standing!

No, it's next weekend.

If you're running XP, CP, you need this patch.

And you should have automatic updates on anyway. Don't float in a boat full of holes.

Oh, is it? Well, you see how confusing it all is?

Well, CP is apparently in en-EU so any American answers almost certainly won't apply.

Our time changed, but half the TV stations apparently didn't get the memo; programming was fubar yesterday. Or, in other words, only slightly worse than normal.

You see? You see? It just gets worse and worse!

It's 11:44 AM GMT, and I have just fixed the internets.

Does anybody really know what time it is?

They did something wonky with the power here over the weekend. My computer says it's 8:40am. My phone says it's 6:48am. The microwave says it's 88:88.

I'm going with the microwave for now.

Oh god, the last thing I need is a day that lasts for 88 hours and 88 minutes. At my current ratio, that would result in me spending about 87 of those hours at work.

Now I'll comment in this thread, and that will mean it's at LEAST tomorrow.
