You might recall that the starting and ending dates for Daylight Saving Time in the U.S. were changed this year. We're coming up on the old date to "fall back;" i.e., set clocks back an hour. Depending on your computer, its operating system, and how scrupulous you are about updating, your computer might reset its clock one week too soon: at 2:00 am on 28 October, instead of at 2:00 am on 4 November.
This, of course, will mean the end of civilization as we know it.
If you straightened out the DST problem back in March (after, say, reading this and this), you'll probably be all set, but it won't hurt to be doubly aware come the end of October.
Wait. End of October? Why are you bothering me with this now?
I wanted to note this, and gather up the pertinent links, while I thought of it, having just been notified by a newsletter from Microsoft. I'll try to remember to post a reminder closer to that date, for those of you who depend on this blog to solve all of life's dilemmas.
