? For My Fellow Techy/Nerds ;)
Is anyone else dealing with and/or stressing about DST crap for this weekend? ugh Ok, so our Data side of the house should be good since they get time from our time server...great..routers,etc. will be good...but our Video Conf. stuff has more parts to the equation..windows server, VC bridge time, client PC's who do the VC scheduling, oh and the conf's. kicking off correctly monday AM..blah! What a PITA is all I can say!!! frig. Can't wait til I'm back to Data side of house more primarily, so much more straight forward.
I get to change time/test on Sun. AM..yay..if all is good then I'm off riding for the day..true test is Mon. AM anyway...hey, if it breaks it's all on Microcrap...haha.
Just curious if other tech's have to deal w/ this sh*t as well over weekend so I'm not the only one stressing out/suffering needlessly

The latest updates of Java took care of it so I should be good. *Should be*. But we interface with a few 3rd party tools so who knows if they don't blow up.

Im actually in colorado visiting some friends, who are buried up to their heads in this nonsense. What I am confused about is why this wasnt done weeks or months ago, the law was passed a while ago. I am still amused why such a stupid law was changed to begin with.

Daylight Savings Time. It's 3 weeks earlier than usual.
We have all scripts in place for all our switches. Also have the bits clock.

This is what I was able to find and what I had heard already...it's to conserve energy.
"Saving energy is what this is all about. The government says electricity for lighting our homes is directly connected to when we go to bed and when we get up. When we go to bed, we turn off the lights, computers and the TV. A study says Daylight Saving Time cuts electricity use by one percent each day".

I've had a totally shit week, so much bullshit at work. Started out arriving at 9:20am on Monday and leaving at 3:30pm Tuesday. Then I was working from midnight til 3am Wednesday. I'm not on the night shift either. :-\
We just told our staff to expect the DST change and deal with it. Patched all the servers & computers too obviously but not going to run the dodgy MS tool to update all their calendar items.
Hoping for a better weekend and at this stage I really dgaf about DST. lol

Well the clocks on our PC's are all 1 hour ahead of what they were supposed to be, it's a bug with one of windows exchange patches. But our software is working fine so that's good.

Yeah, pretty much worked the entire weekend, other then getting out for a bit during the day on sat. and sun. but I'm exhausted...got in at 7am today and working til like 10/11pmish...WTF! I don't think they're paying me to be a damn slave and figure out the engineers side of what's going on but also fix it I'm not getting paid nearly enuff for this BS.
