    just wait for your computer to tell you at midnight


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,200 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    My computer tells me every day at midnight...

    "You've now completed another day on this puney earth... what are YOU still doing here?!"

    Should i be concerned?

    I'm being revelutionary and standing out for the crowd.. i've set my clocks back an hour already... Christ, is it that time already?

    I'm debating whether or not to do it manually, or see have my computer and phone done it automatically during the night...

    Your computer should if its set to under Date & Time Properties->Time Zone. Most likely you will have to restart to take effect..like everything in Windows.:)

    Aye, my computer will, but word on the street is that my phone will too!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,350 ✭✭✭Lust4Life


    So now I'm wondering just what time boards will go to sleep tonight!
    (Being in America, I may get an extra hour of play time here before it sleeps! \0/!)

    And yes, every clock in my house says a different time.
    I rely on the puter and cell phone for real time!

    Cell Phone is the very most accurate of all btw.

    Good question. I know in the past a bloke called Cloud has to manually set the time on vbulletin.

    My guess is that it will go as usual in 2.5 hours time, which should be 0200 GMT, for those who haven't set their clocks by then, they'll think it will still be 0300 IST.

    And I have to work all night, 13 hour shift! eek!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    i get an extra hour kip before work tomarrow...sweet.

    I'm certain windows does it by itself, without restarting.
