 Daylight Saving Time. Some may characterize DST as a “mini-Y2K”. No, it’s
not, it’s worse than Y2K. At least with Y2K, everyone had the runs for the
year leading up to it and were prepared. DST has hit American IT over the
head with a two-by-four. Here at Sunbelt, we have had buckets of work to do
for the transition — updates to SalesLogix, Exchange, SQL 2005, Office,
Java runtime engine, etc.

Even I had fun with this. If you run Outlook off of Exchange and applied
the the DST patch before your IT department patched Exchange, good luck
getting Outlook started. And then see if everything’s off by an hour in
March.

Here’s an example from my Outlook calendar: I have a number of birthdays in
my March calendar. Every one of them is now a two-day birthday, because
they run from 1 am to 1 am, instead of 12 to 12. And all my meetings are
pushed up an hour — a 2 pm meeting is now a 3 pm meeting. "


   Whoever came up with this DST thing was nuts.  It's all a political
football that will end up costing more energy than it could possibly save.
Think of all those meetings people will drive to, only to discover that
they were an hour late, they have to reschedule, and blow all that gas.
