This morning, the clock on my computer automatically moved back one hour, as it would when daylight savings finishes. However, daylight savings in Victoria/New South Wales in Australia doesnt finish until the 2nd of April this year, as it was extended because of the Commonwealth Games. Obviously Microsoft didnt put this information into their time servers, and it was automatically changed.

So if anyone noticed their clocks moved back an hour, and you are in Victoria or New South Wales, it's not the end of daylight savings, so just move it forward an hour again

Bleh. Clocks here (Netherlands) will be put a hour forward in about 2 hours. 1 hour less to study tomorrow (or 1 hour less sleep tonight) .

Blah clocks go forward an hour soon

Hour less sleep

But I think they're leaving it like this and not putting them back in Autumn this year

Microsoft released a 'patch' for this lordy by rights it should be in your windowsUpdate

i dont see how the government can change time

they don't change time, they decide when daylight savings starts and stops

its that bit i dont get...

shouldnt it be a set date every year?

it usually starts first weekend of october finishes the last weekend of march or something along those lines...

but they extended it this year for the commonwealth games

Like Animal said, the patch would've been in the Windows Update... I don't see why they should changed the date of daylight savings for some stupid games to be honest. I hate when the clocks go backwards or forwards . You have to wake up an hour earlier than usual .

They obviously can't warp the universe.

Though they decide on almost everything, even things that you see as common sense have been decided by the government, and could easily be changed, though the people responsible for a stupid change wouldn't be very popular soon after. They have decided that the time system that we use is the time system that we use, though you'd just expect people to give you the time as something like 5:24 PM anyway, not, 42 thonkgs after the sun passed the big tree.

lordy16 posted that New South Wales and Victoria have had the end of daylight savings postponed by one week. Queensland doesn't even have daylight savings at all.

screw the patch, adjust it yourself.. Thats what i did when my computer changed. What lazy person needs a patch to change a clock for them?

It's the second of April.

If you adjust the time yourself, you will have to adjust it back again anyway .

With the patch, the computer knows when daylight savings really stops, and will only restore the time then.
