I thought I wouldn’t need to post about DST 2007 issues after it kicked in on Sunday March 11th this year, but apparently that doesn’t seem to be the case. In a previous post (that I’ve referred to a number of times now) titled “DST 2007: Understanding what needs to be done and how to […]

A report from Erica Ogg at CNet News.com, aptly titled “IT pros battle clock and code in time change”. I’m trying to find the humor in all this, and this report provides it: “Microsoft acknowledges that the instructions for updating aren’t exactly credit card-size.” :) Further: “BlackBerry Pearl user (user name not published here, in […]
