The TTLG time isn't right. - by Tomi

It's 0:08 here in Finland (+2GMT) right now but the TTLG time is 23:08.
Maybe you completely missed the daylight saving thing and forgot to move the clocks?
It's not a big deal of course, just thought I would let you know... although I'm pretty sure someone else has already mentioned it or you just were aware of it all the time.
Keep up the good work.

The displayed forum time is set by you as a function of GMT plus or minus, so TECHNICALLY that would be okay. Except I think the computar only takes into account its local time (also based on GMT, but it doesn't keep up with GMT clock-changing, evidently), so the time won't align properly until April 4th when North America plays the stupid DST game.
This would be so much easier if a) We scrapped the damned fool time-change altogether as a planet, or b) everyone changed their clocks at the same time (or at least on the same day).

Geez.. I really HATE Daylight Savings Time... For one, I have to wake up a frickin' hour earlier (relatively), plus it's just about a desert over here, so having one more hour of daylight is not cool at all. If anything, we should be waking up right at dusk and going to sleep before we get burned into the pavement :tsktsk:

Sounds nice. I miss the sun.
The best thing about daylight saving is when it switches and you have an exta hour! Woooot! Especially if you are in a club/late night bar.
