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...?

Sometimes I have to laugh at myself. For a minute I thought that the "zero hour" was a special term to indicate where the sun was, or day light savings time, or some other special reference in the English language I did not know.
It took me a whole 5 minutes what that could possibly be in Dutch.
Then I realized, ah midnight Sleuth server 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!

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?
