now it should be 11:07
...correct.
But are now all messages posted yesterday one hour wrong? I mean, a message that was posted 24 hours ago, does it also say 11:07 now? I think it does, because only the time setting in my profile has changed to Timezone: GMT+2, the times are saved without additional hour in the database.

Joshu, a Chinese Zen master, asked a cow:
"Do you have Buddha-nature or not?"
The cow answered: "Moo."

I don't care much - it's nice though to have long sunshiny evenings.eurojuanmi wrote:The change of Hour is supposed to save Energy, but I don't think it helps very much, the light you won't use at afternoon is used at the morning...
As for how much energy can be saved, well, I don't know. But in most of the US and parts of Canada, for example, the summer time (daylight saving time) period will even be extended as from 2007, ie. a couple more weeks than this year. Why would they do that if there was no such "saving" effect at all?

I have a Junghans watch with that feature, but it's no fun to stay up to 3.00 in the night just to watch this exciting process... I saw it once two years ago because I was awake for another reason, and in fact the clock needs some time to receive the signal and to sync, so the hand went back 15 minutes late or so...eurojuanmi wrote:And what about the Radio-Controlled watches??? Casio has some models with this feature, it must be very useful in this cases, when changing the time, also curious to see the watch turning into the correct time itself.
And I always wondered if there are other time transmitter in Europe than the one in Frankfurt. with its 2000 km radius.
And about saving effects: I read a study where it was said that a big thunderstorm has more effect on the electricity consumption than the DST. I guess, most people like the longer evenings (me included) so they just stick to it, disregarded there are no power savings measurable.

I was just going to the bed when I thought: in 9 minutes is the hour change!, so I could write an EBT post, and again I´m awake at 3 o'clock, or at 2 o´clock?
In this photo I have written a post the Octuber 29 at 3:00 am, but my clock says Octuber 29 at 2:00 am, I have gone to the past?
Like pepitopulpito said: I should sleep a little more...

My clock (I am in Germany) usually works with the DCF signal that you mentioned, but depending on where I travel,
I can also use the British MSF signal, the American WWVB signal, and the two Japanese JJY signals. Have not
been to Japan yet though.
