I still think so-- but Chauvin has confused me again by saying he is
EDT, which I take to mean Eastern Daylight Savings Time. I want to see
his TZEdit display to see whether the zone changes took!

I thought of that. But, I think (not perfectly sure) the time in the
header is the one used for OE's sent time no matter when it actually is
sent. If written offline yesterday & held in the Outbox, it will show up
on the server (& in OE's sent column) with yesterday's date. Probably,
that would be different if held in Drafts instead until sent. Anyhow,
Chauvin has confirmed he posts them immediately.

Rick, I don't think your system is on daylight savings time? EST should be
GMT-400 during DST, and -500 when not.

You see it correctly because you're posting at -500 and downloading at -500,
while PCR and I are downloading your posts at -400.

Hmm, yeah, Rich's posts show:
Wed, 24 Sep 2008 14:42:30 -0500
Wed, 24 Sep 2008 14:46:15 -0500

AHHH, the difference IS the modification when in DST [daylight savings time]
modified time zones.
-0500 GMT becomes -0400 GMT when adjusted.

All these time discussions have failed to address the HOW of software DST
adjustment when it has been made.

Using PCR's post which noted the issue:

I'm beginning to think you never adjusted for the time zone changes,
Chauvin. Look at MEB's & your timestamps...

When he posted the above, it showed this for his DST adjusted message:
Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2008 20:02:59 -0400

However, as Bill noted, we are all in EDT -0500, but when properly applied,
software/registry DST change sets the -0500 to -0400 GMT when the patches
have been applied which impliment the congressional changes.... which is a
simple but rather sloppy way to change the time as that places those it
affects in the wrong geographic regions. So it does appear Rick has failed
to apply those changes.

Ah! Thanks for confirming that bit, Blanton! It was the last doubt I had
about who's time was wacky-- mine & MEB's or Chauvin's! I did guess a

GMT is a constant. If you "spring" forward an hour it's necessary to "adjust" to
reflect the new relationship to the constant. It's important that networked
systems to use the same time constant. The "time of day" is only for human
consumption ;-)



So it does appear Rick has failed to apply those changes.


It could be that he turned off the "auto adjust" and set his clock back
manually. The clocks right, but offset is off.

GMT/UTC is still a constant. The time at longitude 0.
The (manipulative) variable is the "time zone" factor of the equation.

If you are calculating your geographic location, you need to adjust
accordingly.

Then what you suggest is that mariners and aviators adjust their

equation to determine position?

Hi Bill,

You are quite right on all counts Bill.
I am in EST but as you said my computer is set GMT-0500 and yes I do have
Auto Adjust turned off and always have set it manually the first of the
year. I've done that since Win9x because back then it drove me crazy when
auto adjust was on it would scramble my Desktop icons when it auto
adjusted, and so out of habit right along had set my W2K/WXP that way too,
and have been staying booted and posting with XP this year anyway. I
assume XP/2K never scrambles desktop icons after an time auto adjust?

I haven't applied any updates since SP3 on this WXPro, and so am a few
months behind with that, and of course have that auto update off too.

I apologize to you three for not responding to these post earlier but I've
been swamped at work and home and have barley had time to sleep even.
Thanks for the replies PCR & MEB.

Bill, you're on XP too, so how should I set it so that my offset gets shown
correctly on all counts, not just these newsgroups. My sister in Florida
told me last week that my email timestamp was an hour off as well too even
though I see it as normal, and so I need to conform to make things show
right then.

I just now check marked the box to Auto Adjust, and my time jumped
ahead an hour which is incorrect, so I manually adjusted the clock back an
hour but leaving the box checkmarked; I hope this solves the problem.

Thanks,

Rick

| Rick, I don't think your system is on daylight savings time? EST
| should be GMT-400 during DST, and -500 when not.
|
| You see it correctly because you're posting at -500 and downloading
| at -500, while PCR and I are downloading your posts at -400.

| GMT is a constant. If you "spring" forward an hour it's necessary to

You are welcome. Looks to me that did it...!...

Now I see your OE header date & my OE "sent" column date of your post
match. That is as it should be, because we are in the same time zone. It
didn't occur to me you had the auto time adjustment turned off & did it
manually. Good thinking on Blanton's part as usual. OK, I'm taking you
off my naughty list, Chauvin-- for posting responses before the OP has
posted as you did in an earlier thread!

I've never noticed my own Desktop got mussed over that the auto date
change. Next time I'll have to go look! But you always could just have
used something like WinTidy to fix that.

| Thanks,

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
Should things get worse after this,
PCR
