Server clock broken

[Tannin]

Something has gone screwy with the server's clock. Refer my posts in the Folding@Home thread for details.

 

[Buck]

I concur - server time anomalies abound.

 

[Tea]

Test post: if I am right, I won't be allowed to post this, because I posted three-quarters of an hour ago (real time) and that is still in the future (server time).

 

[Tannin]

Guess what, Tea: you are wrong!

I imagine that you have your posting rights back because it's now an hour + one minute since you posted last.

And - my theory - the server just went onto summer time.

 

[Bartender]

It's working Tea. It is almost as if we're catching back up with posts posted in the future. Have you ever read the book The Langolears? (sp?)

 

[Buck]

Langliers

 

[Tea]

QUICK! TELL ME WHO WON THE THIRD RACE!

 

[Bartender]

No you fool, The Langoliers, by Stephen King.

 

[Tea]

Nope. But I grew up on time-travel Sci-Fi.

Also, please let me know what price IBM closed at tommorow.

If I can get a mortgage on my house at this time of night, we should both be able to retire, and buy SF a new server with the change.

 

[Bartender]

Tea, all of my posts appeard in order before any of you subsequent posts were made. Now, however, you've responded with a few posts, and they've inserted in between my previously contiguous conversation with Buck.

 

[Tea]

Hmmm .... I just saved the active threads, just in case. Then, if Doug needs to roll the server back, I have a record of the most recent posts. Just two threads so far, I'll go do a few of the other most recent ones.

 

[Tea]

OK. I have all the threads dates 4th or 5th of June saved to my hard drive. We can roll back to midnight 3rd/4th June without loosing any posts. Provided my X15 doesn't let me down. No. R: drive - that's on the Samsung P40.

(Why do I have an R: drive? R stands for "random" - it's the drive where I put things that don't seem to belong anywhere else.)

I believe summer time started on 7th April?

 

[James]

Pradeep, do you need to update the "location" field in your profile?
