Starting in 2007, most of the United States and Canada observe DST from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, shifting clocks typically at 02:00 local time. Y2K7 Y2K7 refers to the Year 2007 problem, caused by a US-mandated change to Daylight Saving Time, which could have widespread repercussions in the computer industry. Starting in 2007, Daylight Saving Time in many jurisdictions of the United States and Canada will begin earlier and run later than in previous years; it will start on the second Sunday in March and end on the first Sunday in November. Any device that automatically corrected its clock to match the time changes to Daylight Saving Time, such as personal computers or VCRs now needs to be updated so that the device knows of the new rules. If the devices are not updated, they will show an incorrect time for three weeks in March and one week in November, and cause a number of problems including having e-mail with wrong timestamps, events in calendaring software being displayed incorrectly and some authentication software, such as Kerberos in Mac OS, not behaving properly. To avoid these problems users either have to update their devices manually when Daylight Saving Time changes, or update their software to newer versions. Click here to see if you may need to update your OS software. Now is also a good time to replace the batteries in any smoke detectors in your home. You may want to check with your local cable provider and ask them if DST is correct on your box. And don't forget the clock in your car and the VCR.

I noticed that my VCR was an hour ahead today (4/1/07), apparently still thinking today was Daylight Saving day. I wouldn't want anyone to miss any of their shows!

This morning when I woke up (Sun, 10/28), my alarm clock was flashing, my VCR was exactly one hour behind and I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on. Driving, the stop lights were all flashing red in my neighborhood. When they fooled around with expanding DST this year, I wasn't sure when exactly it would end. So, next weekend I'll change everything on Saturday night when I hit the hay.

I wasn't sure when it was changing. Maybe they should get rid of turning the clock back at all since it's only for a few months now. --- http://www.myspace.com/mrssanandres 10/28/2007, 7:18 pm    bubu13 Member Global user Registered: 07-2006 Posts: 1280 Quote Re: Daylight Saving Time 2008 Daylight saving time ends @ 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 2, 2008 Remember to adjust your clocks and VCR... also don't forget to change the battery in your smoke detectors. --- 10/28/2008, 3:43 pm    Hiroshi66 Moderator Global user (premium) Registered: 02-2004 Location: Los Angeles, America Posts: 7428 Quote Re: Daylight Saving Time 2008 Bubu, thanks for the reminder! For some reason, I usually remember to change the time on my clock and VCR in March, but then when November rolls around, I always end up forgetting that Daylight saving time is ending, LOL! --- Wishing everyone a happy and wonderful 2009! 10/28/2008, 5:27 pm    nchristi Moderator Global user (premium) Registered: 03-2004 Location: Hotel California Posts: 7610 Quote Re: Daylight Saving Time 2008 Yes, thanks Bubu. It's more difficult to keep track of these days since they changed from April/October to March/November beginning and ending dates. 10/28/2008, 6:52 pm    Hiroshi66 Moderator Global user (premium) Registered: 02-2004 Location: Los Angeles, America Posts: 7428 Quote Re: Daylight Saving Time 2008 Yeah, ever since they changed the beginning and ending dates last year, I've also been having trouble keeping track of Daylight saving time. I'm glad that the beginning or end of Daylight saving time falls on a weekend, though. That way, it'll be easier to adjust everything on Saturday night before bed (or even on Sunday morning!). --- Wishing everyone a happy and wonderful 2009! 10/29/2008, 5:18 am    Add a reply Powered by AkBBS 0.9.5b  -  Link to us   -  Blogs   -  Hall of Honour   -  Chat Click here to get your own free message board You are not logged in (login)      1/6/2009, 1:33 pm
