Summer time

Post by avij »

Just a small reminder, we've just switched to summer time. Whee! So turn your clocks one hour forward right now.

If you're unsure about the correct time, see my time server page, it's accurate to a few milliseconds. Of course the web latency is much more than that, but the accuracy is still quite enough to set your wristwatch. The time displayed is in Finnish time, so most of you will need to subtract one hour from the displayed value, and some people (UK, Ireland, Portugal) need to subtract two hours.

In addition to this, you may want to edit your Profile information to reflect the new time: GMT+3, GMT+2 or GMT+1 (or something wildly different) depending on where you live.

I hate summer time! :(
I hate it when I have to get up early, and now I have to get up even earlier!

The switch to wintertime is fine, but we have to pay for that extra hour of sleep now... :(

:oops: I forgot about the summertime, Saturday. On Sunday I had to do my newspaper-round. All the papers had to be delivered before 9 o'clock, and on my watch it was still a quarter to nine when I was done. So I thought everything was OK, until I red about the summertime in the newspaper.... :oops: :oops:

Why not use summertime also during winter?

I don't mind. It's the same when you travel to Greece or Finland. :wink:
