Oh I remembered. Lost an hour of precious sleep. Fucking farmers.

Not the farmers. Crops and cows don't really much care what time we call 6 a.m.

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

This is exactly why. It's more daylight when you arrive home and you'll go to bed earlier, thus saving energy.

Some people are essentially complaining they get up and arrive home in the dark...which is why DST is only done during the summer.

We're supposed to change batteries in our smoke alarms twice per year. DST is the "advertised" time to do so.

Sun's up when I get up.

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.

I get up around then - but I'm a few degrees latitude south of you all.

The whole point of it is so there's more daylight when you get home. You don't tend to turn all of your lights on in the morning, but when you get home at night you turn everything on. Having daylight when you get home cuts down on the energy burned via lights. You know, or we could just wait for the rest of the world and not lose a friggen hours sleep 3 weeks earlier because your frikken government is stupid and doesn't want to be a team player.

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.

I'm just waitiing for all the other crap that we're going to find not working right on monday

Here's a nickle kid. Get yourself a real OS... ;)

There are days I'm glad I'm a *nix admin, and this is one of them. Most of my systems didn't even need a patch (was included in updates we'd already done). The few dozen that did need them were simple to apply. Although the older Sun boxes were a pain. More because they're kinda legacy stuff and needed a whole ton of other patches for other reasons and we decided that while we were at it we'd do the whole shebang.
