PSA

For energy saving reasons (and for general annoyance), this is the year the US gov’t has decided that Daylight Saving Time (Energy Policy Act of 2005) will be a few weeks earlier than usual - March 11. So. For those of us using Windows operating software, we need to make sure that we have downloaded the up-to-date Microsoft patches and whatever. Because if we don’t, I gather that all sorts of rotten things could/will happen.

If you already regularly download Microsoft updates and have them automatically installed on your computer, you’re all set already.

Here’s the Windows Daylight Saving Time Help and Support Center.

Thank you.  Another friend forwarded it to me today or I would have been caught unawares.  It snowed and snowed and snowed again in DC today.  Payback for December I guess.  Stay warm! and thanks for the reminder to us that we have to manually fix this “glitch.”

dk- You can have the snow and I hope it’s pretty and you guys enjoy it. Please keep it, too. Our snow is nothing more than white ice now. It doesn’t want to melt, not that it’s had much opportunity.

J - Why am I not surprised. Subtle encouragement to upgrade, no? What about people still running Windows 95? They’re still out there, too. Microsoft is a pain in de butt.
