My phone won't change at all, can't even manually do it. I guess my phone will be an hour behind for 3 weeks. Smiley: thumbsdown

I knew it was coming, but spaced it out. Damn, I thought I got up at a decent hour this morning too.

I appreciate how the time change didn't occur until 2AM, so while I may have lost an hour of sleep, at least I didn't lose an hour of drinking.

I hate DST - it is such an annoyance anymore. Just pick a time frame and commit. . . .

someone did not patch their system properly.

this was taken care of almost 2 months ago for MS, and longer for OSx and Linux.

My desktop did change automagically, but oddly enough my laptop didn't. Since I was using an alarm clock on the laptop this morning, I woke up an hour late and didn't even realize it and ended up late. Whoops! Smiley: blush

As a member of the IT community, I would like to announce that I have formally joined the "Impeach Bush" bandwagon over this. Seriously. That and a big **** you to microsoft for not releasing their correct outlook dst patches until 2 weeks before the event.

My desktop at home did not update. I turned auto update on.

I think it's going to be kind of a mess.

All comp in house updated but one, and if I manually do it, it screws up my FF clock, so I guess I just leave it.

Ironically, that was my intention today. Imagine the look on my face as I noticed I walked in right on time to start the day (and saw all the other employees have also decided to get in 'an hour early')

God, I had finally gotten through a week of work without coffee! I feel like I should be wearing my PJ's today.

It'll be nice to get home when there's still daylight out, though. Does something for the spirit.

Other way around, actually. Sun's up when I get up. I'd expect it to be dusk when I leave work at five-ish.

Right there with ya. We had to wait on MS for their fixes and thus had to develop 7 patches for products in like... 30 days? And then try to explain to our customers why, when this was announced in like 2005, we couldn't get them patches until 2 weeks ago.

Fun times.

Dicks.

When do you get up? I'm up at 5:45, and in the winter, it's pitch black out when I leave and pitch black when I come home. It kicks *** to feel like a surface dweller again.

Yesterday it didn't get dark here until around 7:30. Before the time change it was getting dark around 6:30.

Try turning your phone off, and the back on. Most all cell phone companies that I know got it right. Better than waiting 3 weeks for it to be right.
