Any body notice that the BadWeb clock is off a bit? Not that I'm a stickler for details, but I do get confused from time to time. |

Nobody has ever claimed that I was completely disinterested in details, but I must say this one got completely past me. Just wondering how you discovered this slightly ever so slightly appalling detail? |

I just posted at 6:36pm, and to my greatest surprise, the post shows 6:36 as the time of posting. Any chance that you need to recalibrate your own timekeeping systemology? Do you use dial up to access the web. Bored Bad Webbers need to get to the bottom of this chronological mystery.

How far off is it? Is it off by Hours? (could be TZ differences). Posting this at 6:54 EDT |

Hmm looks fine to me, and I pretty sure my clock on my computer is accurate as it is synced to a Stratum 2 NTP server, synced to GPS in the other room) |

Your time is fine, just delayed by the mason jar. |

My apologies to all concerned. It seems that my computer's clock and all of the peripheral devices that it runs have gone amuck in their time keeping. They are fifty nine minutes off from BadWeb time and I sure am glad it showed up on Sunday. That could have screwed up all of my work scheduled events for tomorrow. Thank you all for checking! Mason Who? |

Vern - it's probably because this time each year we "fall back" for daylight savings time, but it's been delayed this year until November 4th. All of our computers/PDAs, etc. are trying to reset themselves as well. |

Looks like Badweb is on Eastern time. |

The ever astute Kristi (Ulywife) has once again nailed it. Thanks Kristi.
Vern, Same thing happened to my PC. I just turned off the automatic daylight savings time feature and reset it.
Don (M1), What Slaughter said. BadWeB displays eastern time. |

Microsoft issued a patch for this back in the Spring for XP. It was installed as part of the automatic critical update process. There were fixes for earlier versions of Windows available shortly afterwards from third parties. |

Yeah, well, my 'puter has a rope type pull starter, so I wasn't expecting ANY automated updates. Even wrong ones! I had to run off to the restroom to pee in a computer store one time. Does that make me a computer whiz? |
