This is a Sign of the Times

Don't suppose it matters much, but the little notification on the Home Page of the date and time appears to be wrong.

When it was 9.22 am in the UK this morning, the notification said it was 8.15.

Now I'm aware that this might not read local time for the UK anyway, but I'm surprised that there is a difference in the minutes? Are not all geographical time zones separated by whole hour intervals?

Odd, I'd think that our time notification is not, and this makes me suspect that it may be adrift somewhere?

Ok...so...the default board time is UTC. To see your own local timezone, you need to set it in your User Control Panel.

The UTC time that shows however is the server's time, which does indeed appear to be about 7mins or so out. Can't do anything about that (I think), but change your time zone in your own settings to see something that is only a little out from your actual local time.

Bought this album (cassette!) in the late 80s. Had no clue it wasn't a recent release
Awesome concert (Momentary Lapse - Rosemont Horizon) . Good memories.

Did @peter ever get his time straightened out?

I need to increase the number of Pink Floyd songs I've heard; I'm currently at the title song, (of the album) and like.. some thing about money, iirc.

But also, speaking of time, here is a song that is stick-in-my-brain beautiful, but I try to restrain myself from singing the chorus of...

Tom Waits - Time [YouTube: 4 min]

On my regular Spotify rotation. Kinda miss the simplicity of those 80's ballads when the kids drive by with the car stereos at 3am.

Never really got into Waits. He was a step too far bluesy from Thorogood, and not close enough to mainstream (I was in my teens).

No - never did RandomHaruchai. It hasn't seemed to impact my posting, my state-of-being, my overall place in the universe or anything however, so I guess I can live with it.

My Watch time is currently slow by 10 minutes according to my mundane time.

You people are all aware that time passes at a different rate in the Land, right?

Post by **sgt.null** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 12:12 am

it passes differently when I'm waiting to clock out from work.
