Brilliant? Americans have severe problems with all kind of things (like metric units) and always assume that the rest of the world has them as well.

You could have just stopped there.

Errr... the entire world deals with time zones and a good portion of the Western world deals with some form of daylight savings.
But you just go ahead and feel smug if it lets you sleep at night.

Just use military (ZULU) time and your problems will disappear.

And now you have two problems, in my experience.

I think that the PC term is "issues".
we wouldn't want to be non-PC, now, would we?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Don't tempt me to write something sexist again! Let's just say that they are very... special.

That's nothing... canadians have to deal with a group of angry hamsters that from time to time get drunk and start playing with the electronical circuits and the cables... that, and not to mention Sean  
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

That's because the rest of the world learned from our mistakes

It's not time zones, it's the damn daylight saving time changes.

Received it yesterday after discussing an issue with time zones related to capturing values from multiple sites across multiple time zones.
The server with the data does not observe daylight saving time, but many other servers do, so.. we needed to resolve an issue with data aggregation across time periods.
The project manager forwarded the link after the meeting with the comment, "Seems appropriate"

Oceanlab - Sirens of the sea (Above & Beyonds Original Mix)[^]
This weeks sound is the same as last weeks sound, except that it's a different mix which basically makes it a completely different sound
Last week was all relaxed and chill out vocal trance while this week's sound is more club and deep house.
Yet, same lyrics and melody

I listen a lot to Ori Uplift on Youtube. Helps me focus.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

And, any news about your new job ?
|
|
|
|

Had a second talk yesterday, everything went well.
They'll follow up with an offer today.
Based on that offer I can go to company A or company B.
So the only thing I'm currently still sure about is that I'm quitting my job next month

Fingers crossed

Not from programming! From this slow-as-molasses-web-and-database-(cr)app. And perhaps also from randomly changing CP settings. In the last days I was treated to 'open all' and 10 posts per page at about every second click, today fluid layout and 25 posts per page are en vogue.
I still have the print version of this book in the shelf: Graphics Programming Black Book[^]. It has been sitting there for some years and it's time too read all 1350 pages again and then have some fun with graphics.
JavaScriptors, avert your eyes. If you look at this, you will certainly crumble to ashes like a vampire watching the sunrise. Assembly and, if it must be, C at most. No 'best practices' or style discussions. Granted, 8086 - 80486 processors are not very relevant anymore, but that's not really what the book is about. I want to get back a certain way to look through the code right down to the compiled machine code and then do something interesting with it.
Like some Hobbit said:
"Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean: like butter that has been scraped over too much bread. That can't be right. I need a change, or something."
