Happy Birthday, Kristoffer!
Today is birthday of my littlebrother Kristoffer —
congratulations! He’s turning 17… only one year left until he can get a
drivers license and other fun things, and, if he’s unlucky, military
service.
And on a totally unrelated note: somebody stole an hour of my time today! I woke up, and at some point during the day I noticed that my computer clock was an hour ahead of my wrist-watch clock. “Strange” I thought… my computer should be synchronized using NTP against some Danish timeservers. So it should be accurate to within ±15 ms of UTC time.
(If your computer isn’t already doing so, then it ought to start using NTP
right away. Install a NTP client and make it synchronize against
pool.ntp.org. That DNS name will resolve into one of over a hundred
different public timeservers from all over the world, see
http://www.pool.ntp.org/.)
And indeed my compter was right: we’ve just switched to summertime in Denmark (and probably the rest of the EU if I’m not mistaken) and therefore we all have to live with a Sunday with only 23 hours.
