That's not the hard part. It's about one line of code.

The hard part is rolling out that code change on a million machines.

Oh, and testing all the changes before the time change occurs.

Picture a financial transaction happening in the wrong order because the timestamps are wrong.

What a pain in the arse this DST thing is.

Guess the world didn't come to an end.

Just thank us programmers, bitches. We saved your ass yet again!

Eh, I'm just waiting for some asshole's calendar to be fucked up in Outlook tomorrow, and for them to miss a meeting with a client and blame it on me. Stupid shitty Microsoft Exchange Calendar Time Zone Update Tool.

I hear ya. CYA and send your assholes a mass email telling them it is their responsibility to put the correct meeting time in the SUBJECT LINE of the meeting.

My Blackberry is still 1 hour off, even with the Exchange and BB patch. Great!

Shit has fucked me up all day...mostly because I forgot to reset my clocks until about 5. I mean 4.
