Last night I sent an email to Eternal September suggesting that there was a daylight time problem on their server. Apparently they've adjusted whatever they needed to adjust. My posting time is 2:03:18pm PDT

It says the post time was: Date: Sun, 04 Apr 2010 21:03:23 GMT It was indeed 21:03 when I sent it. So the glitch was fixed by Eternal September. Lemme see if they sent me email on this...nope, nothing from them, but then I don't answer all emails, either.

My PC is fine. I happen to be a programmer. I can do API function calls in my sleep. I checked this computer and everything was properly set and the information returned was correct. The fact that the post time is correct now means that Eternal September fixed some problem at THEIR END because I haven't touched a single setting on this computer. Here are the pieces of code (VB style, in this case) I used to determine that the time zone, UTC offset, and daylight flags were correct: Type TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION Bias As Long StandardName(32) As Integer StandardDate As SYSTEMTIME StandardBias As Long DaylightName(32) As Integer DaylightDate As SYSTEMTIME DaylightBias As Long End Type Declare Function GetTimeZoneInformation Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetTimeZoneInformation" (lpTimeZoneInformation As TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION) As Long Declare Function SetTimeZoneInformation Lib "kernel32" Alias "SetTimeZoneInformation" (lpTimeZoneInformation As TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION) As Long |
