Is it just me, or is the daily 'zero hour' getting earlier and earlier?

It used to be that I could depend on its being 6.15pm, my local time - give or take a minute....

Then I noticed that it was happening before 6pm (local time) - and today it has happened by 5.30pm!

Either the Earth's day has changed to 23hrs 55 minutes and I hadn't noticed, or...?

Phileas - 5.47pm, Canberra local time

OK, ok. I've synchronised the Sleuth server time with the official US atomic clock.

The Daily aging process that gives everybody a new set of daily mysteries is still scheduled to run 4 minutes after midnight (server time).

Can you perhaps put the clock 5 minutes later then the actual time, then I will show up in time for my appointments.

KIDDING!

It is fashionable for a Lady to be late Jstkdn

Me....fashionable? :)

Mar-31-2005 15:58

Oh, you know it is true!

Considering that it's sleuth time, I show up REALLY early for my appointments.

Sorry, jstkdn, I should have been more specific....

And it hasn't been a major disaster - its just that sometimes I might try to finish off a case or two before the daily reset, to find out that I'm too late... :-)

Ben,
thanks for setting the clock, but since this weekend is daylight savings time, you should have waited...or will it adjust automatically with DST?

Ah... I finally realised that Daylight Savings Time just ended in my part of the world....

Hehe.

It is hard to do hunts when I have to go to sleep in my part of the world when it is primetime in Sleuthworld. For ex. servertime is 16:30 it is 00:30 where I live. Hard to keep up with all the people going for the hunts in the USA. Everytime when I wake up a hunt is over. :/
