Just a friendly reminder, several weeks ahead, that Daylight Savings Time will be undergoing a change this year. First mentioned by Benjamin Franklin, and first observed in the US in 1918, Daylight Savings Time will shift its schedule this year as part of an energy plan presented by President Bush last year. The plan, while currently under a trial basis, is hypothesized to cut energy costs by shifting the amount of time spent at home and in the office during sunlight hours and adding approximately four weeks to DST.
Why mention it now? Well, for those applications running on legacy operating systems, there might be a slight hiccup in their automatic time adjustments. For some of my friends still using Time-lapse VCRs (dinosaurs), this is just a reminder to set your schedule a bit differently this year. If you are running systems by Microsoft, here is a good link to keep you up-to-date on the updates for your PCs. If you are running a Unix-based DVR/NVR, you may have to adjust the schedule manually at 2AM on March 11th. Any comments on other update sites are appreciated.
