We wanted to make you aware that U.S. daylight-saving time will start this Sunday, March 11, three weeks earlier than usual. This change was authorized by the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005. While we all look forward to more daylight, we did want to let you to know that many technology vendors are issuing patches and warning customers about the possible impact this time switch may have on their personal and business computers, including the time zone settings on the systems clocks which may be incorrect during a four-week period following March 11th. This could lead to calendaring applications not working properly and key, automated processes not taking place on time. You may want to look on the Internet to get some tips on making sure your computer is ready for an earlier date change. Some good sites to visit include: http://people.howstuffworks.com/dst-bug.htm, http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cp_dst, http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/index.html and http://www.energy.gov/about/EPAct.htm from a trusted vendor this group uses. >We wanted to make you aware that U.S. daylight-saving time will start >this Sunday, March 11, three weeks earlier than usual.

It must be hard for you near the border, with a different timezone in summer just a few k's away. My ex has rung the kids in school 3 times in this school year, lol. Trying to catch them before they leave for school. It's like Dad, we have been in school half an hour already. >>>We wanted to make you aware that U.S. daylight-saving time >will start [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] >lol. Trying to catch them before they leave for school. It's >like Dad, we have been in school half an hour already. Actually it's great up here in DST. If there is a particular show we wanted to catch on TV and we're running late - then it's on the Queensland channel an hour later. It does get confusing at times. We went shopping over the border yesterday afternoon (nowhere near an RACQ store unfortunately) and decided to eat in an Indian Restaurant at 6pm. But we had to wait a while for them to get the kitchen ready for the dinner crowd - it was only 5 pm as far as they were concerned. When the kids flew up from Melbourne for my birthday it appeared to take them one hour to fly up and three hours to fly back.

That's what its like when I put the kids on the plane here. They are there 10 minutes after I see them off :) I usually get the call to say the plane has arrived before I get off the freeway on the way home. My plans for my *golden years* were to travel. I was 60 when Ashley went to live with her mother, and already with very limited mobility. Plus, there had been those 13 years of raising her when we could have been child-free (not complaining, just facts), and could have already been traveling some. I would give anything to travel down to Oz to see you guys there. I LOVE being in other countries; I lived and traveled in the middle east, did a little traveling in Germany, but would REALLY love to travel down under. LOL I already know your language. Made some other friends there in a support group based on children's attachment disorder.

Alan lives in a little slice of heaven and not far from the fabulous Gold Coast of Queensland. If you've seen one large city you've seen them all. Even though Sydney has the bridge and the harbour etc, there are many other fabulous little places outside of the cities. Where I live now I am surrounded by large lakes and not far from the ocean. Not far from the mountains either :) I am an hour by freeway to Sydney but I only go there now to visit son, DIL and kids, my oldest daughter, a brother and sister and their extended families. That's it. It's easygoing, clean air, clean beaches, I think you would love it. On 3/6/07 10:26 PM, in article 7cmsu2dtv9l7t3537tbkkqmm4p1kpr0dfm@4ax.com, > Actually it's great up here in DST.

Victoria, NSW and Tasmania go to DST in October each year - but Tasmania goes a few weeks early. That may change this October. So when I leave here at 11am and take twenty minutes to drive to Coolangatta - I arrive at 10:20. In the centre, South Australia and Northern Territory standard time is a half-hour after EST; but only South Australia goes to SA DST from October to March. In the West, Western Australia is two hours after Eastern time and also goes to WA DST.

BIG EFFIN' DEAL.

So if you change your computer clock manually on March 11, you'll find that Windows sets the clock forward again in April, and then you'd (manually) have to undo that change.

If you are running XP or Vista, and are set up for auto-updating, the patch is probably already on your system.

Microsoft has stopped supporting Windows 98SE (and anything earlier). I'm still running 98SE. Personally, I think it's a *good* thing that Microsoft isn't messing with that system any more. I once made the mistake of installing a bunch of their "security patches," and then found that some of my software didn't work. I uninstalled some of the patches, but others couldn't be uninstalled. I ended up reformatting the hard drive and reinstalling Windows from scratch. It runs much better without the so-called "updates." Not if you pull it up and unclick auto. I have Windows98. I have many clocks to change, so those two computer clocks are not a problem for me at all. The problem as I see it, is DST in the first place. Pick one and stick with it year round IMO.

The third is in a box in the basement after it fell from the wall. It didn't do any serious damage, but I do need to do a little gluing. It's the only one that is an eight day clock; the two we are using are thirty hour clocks so they have to have the chains pulled every day.

I was typing away on 2 PCs in the office when the time change hit. One of them updated the other did not. 2 of the 3 other PCs updated correctly. That was just the system clocks. Various machines have dedicated programs and some of them run clocks independent of the system clock and of course they did not update. It was interesting watching IT push the patches remotely on each work station one after the other. 1st patch to update windows then, individual patches to fix individual programs. This all took place the day before. We sent them an email listing which terminals did not update correctly. And they said it was updated. Of course what we know.

There's a number of ways, such as by phone landline, by LW time signals, by cell phone ISPs, by GPS, and by AC mains electricity time signal. That method is many decades old. The last LW autosetting clock I bought, the fourth in the house, cost 3.99 UK pounds, so they're not expensive.

Is it going to change the non-electric things? What about the manual alarm clock (that's my 3rd backup for these occasions) to roust me out at 5:30 Sunday morning (to be on time for a race assignment)? (actually, I have two of these available -- one with a battery, one windup.) And then there's the battery-powered clock on the wall -- very old tech, though not as old as the Grandfather Clock we used to have. bj [Default] On Thu, 08 Mar 2007 11:53:59 -0600, BlueBrooke <.@.> Giggled into the madness of usenet: >>>Why not just double-click the time and change the hour? >>> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >house -- or is there some nifty advance on that front, too, that I >missed? Not all programs use the system clock to record time. However since this year it is being changed at a different time than what is originally programmed you will be changing the system clock and other programs manually more than 2 times this year. Now figure out which programs you have that need patches.

Microsoft put out a patch when for what reason I can't remember now, DST had to be changed to accomodate something happening here. Surely they will do the same for the US like they did for this small country down under? :) That way you were able to keep the time on auto for DST changes. >Microsoft put out a patch when for what reason I can't >remember now, DST had to be changed to accomodate something >happening here.

Except that they don't put out patches for products that they no longer support, such as Windows 98. But the tool for editing the automatic time changes is right on the Windows distribution CD. >>Why not just double-click the time and change the hour? >> >Because you'd be doing that manually twice a year (that is, when you >remembered to do so). I, too, change my clocks manually biannually or even manually semiannually.

I suspect it's manually semiannually, or else you'd be off by an hour for half the time. Or is it 3/4 of the time. Aaarrgghh!! I used to be able to pull these off the top of my brain.

Good God! ... 2 times?... you mean 2 times in the same year? John Actually, it would turn back itself in the fall.

Yeah, but not on the right day. They've changed that date toofirst Sunday in November.
