I thought it looked early on the calendar - and I forgot all about that! That explains it!

Re: Extended Daylight Savings Time!

I knew about it since they enacted it. I've been complaining for years (mostly to myself) that I thought it was dumb that they made it darker earlier the weekend before Halloween. That basically guaranteed that little kids would be wandering the streets in the dark. At least now, they have an extra hour before it gets dark.

A lot of computers need to be updated because of this. We're doing that at my office now. Just another FYI.

I had to do an update for our ADP timeclocks months ago. I should probably make sure that our 100+ servers will automatically update themselves correctly. Chat Icon

Re: Extended Daylight Savings Time!

I think it's a great idea

except- that is the one weekend I go to Chicago for a huge trade show

so we are going to lose an hour the night before the show starts- after setting up for 3 days

the timing is just really bad- I am going to be so confused

I will already be 1 hour off- and this makes it 2

Yah... not fun. Guess what, Microsoft's own products don't use the operating system's timezone information.. so if you use exchange, sharepoint, etc - you ALSO need to patch those applications separately and not just the OS.

We're meeting today to discuss test plans.. this is worse than the year 2000 uneventful flip. Chat Icon
