Not sweating the early change to Daylight saving

Profile picture for user Bryan Ruby
By Bryan Ruby , 8 March, 2007

I suppose it's expected, but the media's focus of a possible Daylight Savings Time (DST) computer meltdown is just too predictable.  Take for instance this CNET News article, Daylight saving change proves thorny for businesses:

With the early move to daylight saving time taking place this weekend, businesses not yet ready for the change are finding themselves in a race against the clock.

I am for one not too concerned about the DST change.  First of all, after going through all the Y2K hype and not having too many difficulties...I refuse to worry much about this event.  Secondly, most of my operational systems are on Universal Time Co-ordinated (UTC, also GMT).  For a third reason, unlike Y2K...most clients are actually time synced with the servers.  Finally...the worse thing that can happen is a machine or two is off an hour for a few minutes before we change the time or reboot.

Meanwhile, I plan on sleeping a little later Sunday to make for for that "lost hour" we all are losing.
