Ah, good old Daylight Savings Time

[thewayne]

I had to reset my Palm Pilot and my Dell Axim and should reset my VCR but probably won't, we only use it for playing tapes and occasionally taping something off our Tivo. At least my cell phone and laptop updated correctly, I'll have a dozen servers to verify in the AM. We have a lot of controller systems for time clocks and thermostats that can't be updated, so people are just going to have to cope until the proper calendar date comes along.

So I sent a page long letter to President Obama today asking him to reverse Bush's DST change. Some studies that I read said that there was no net energy savings and that it actually increased energy consumption in some studies.

Just remembered that we'll have to reset our Nintendo DS boxes.

Don't forget the upswing in accidents. (googling "daylight savings accident statistics" will provide some information.)

Bleh, the Monday after the switch is always one of the worst days of the year for me.

Well, I hope your day isn't too bad. Me, I had pneumonia the week before last, today is my second attempt, hopefully successful, at doing a full 8 hours at work.
