Have the clocks gone back?

[Rich]

Am I stuck in a ****ed up time scale or have the clcoks gone back thus giving me an extra hour of nothing for work? why didnt the alarm on my phone auto set :<

[CyberDrac]

Yes they went back at 2AM .. reverting to 1AM ... meaning that you have probably got and hour spare with nothing to do ...

I was so thrown off my body clock i thought it was saturday. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/valanwood/images/03H-Tuesday.gif

I'm so confused.

My computer clock says its 10:18 atm.

MY desk clock says its 12:18 atm.

?!?!????!

[Elbonio]

it's neither it's 11:19 pm

[Steadders]

EXACTLY

the thing is, my computer is set to automaticaly set to the right time, and last night i watched it change from 2:00 to 1:00.

And also, my desk clock is radio controlled, so that its always perfect time.

?!?!??!!?!

[Zenti]

evidently neither of these are true or u set them urself without realising and they changed properly.

[m00]

I can't say I really noticed the extra hour... Was up all night drinking, so I suppose it's partly to blame for the fact I *still* have a hangover :rolleyes:

[Elbonio]

i bet that was confusing in a drunken state

"i could have sworn is was 1:30am only... what?... 45 minutes ago or something??"

[m00]

No no, at the time I was only quite drunk in a kitchen looking at a clock... And someone mentioned that the clocks go back, and everyone got their phones out etc and changed them back... It was all very organised for a bunch of drunk people at a party heh

Wow m00 that sounds like quite a party ;)

I like watching my remote controlled clock change, it zooms round kinda slowly and looks cool :p:

[Steadders]

Me and dan stayed up to watch out computer clocks change. Then we played DDR.

Well, considering we live in the wonder age of things being automagic:

The Video didn't reset as it has no RF lead, so it needed changing manually
My first bedside clock is toally manual
My radio bedside clock seems to have stopped syncing to a radio signal, so I have to reset it, and then reset all the alarm settings
My watch has two time readouts - analogue and a digital. The digital has a +1 hour feature which is very nice, but its not linked to the analogue, so that has to be synced manually.
My PC has been doing odd things with time for a while, drifting in and out of correct time. I think my timezone settings in Gentoo are wrong, so when windows boots Digiguide squawks and tells me its all so wrong.

Great fun :(

It's simple to keep track of the changes.

First you need lots of clocks.
Second you set one or two correctly to GMT about 8pm on the night the clocks go back.
Thirdly in the morning set all others from this 1.

My phone has automatic time updates (6600.. didn't think it did much until now).

If all else fails dial 123 on the phone. (talking clock)

[Er00]

noone I know has a phone that automatically changes :p: you're lucky :p:

[Optimus]

My phone has a DST preset and an auto timezone function... you'd think those clever Sony guys would combine the two, but NO... I have to dig through a menu... arseholes...

[KingDaveRa]

My phone says it has the ability to change time automagically, but it didn't.

Bloody technology.

[LlamaMan]

My phone and watch did bugger all, my PC (FreeBSD) changed itself over perfectly. Bloody annoying when my old phone (t68i) changed itself and the new one (t610) did nothing.

I still had the hour or 2 of panic over what the actual time was though :eek: .

[Er00]

I always have a moment of panic like that on the first day back at school after holidays, or even if noone cept me turns up to my bus stop.. :p:
