Vancouver Steam ClockAs most of you may not have known this year Daylight Savings Time has change from the 1st Sunday in April to the 2nd Sunday in March. That means that March 11, 2007 that your clock will have to move forward, a whole 3 weeks early.

This is not a prank. You can see the CBC report on this.

What does this mean to hosting and maybe the techies? Well anything that is dependant on time probably needs a patch. All the major Operating Systems have posted a patch for the new Daylight Savings Time. You should visit your Operating System company site to ensure your own system is patched before March 11th:

All of our servers are already patched for this so there is no worries for BlueFur.com customers. Be sure to check with your various providers and work to be sure you are 100% ready for this.

PS – Thanks Matt

    I synchronized my time from a library. WiFi connection is on and off at the times. Outlook reads an error (0×80042108). Any ideas?

    This means that outlook can’t connect to your POP3 service. Try telnet to port 110 to see if it is open on your system.
