Daylight savings - am I a troglodyte? Can I handle international web applications?
Daylight savings is changing tonight in Melbourne Australia at 2 AM. Our clocks are going forward this Saturday/Sunday at at the specified time of 2 AM, this mean I can sleep in. Wow, I love sleeping in. Yes I am very productive during daylight savings, but hell, I still do love sleeping in! How sweet it is. Suddenly 9:00 AM becomes 8:00 AM. Could daylight savings get any better? Suddenly I don’t feel so guilty about daylight savings.
Web applications? Are they international, definitely yes! What about Flickr, when is my picture publishes? Daylight savings or not? What about my shopping cart purchase at Amazon. Daylight savings or not? What about a simple comment on a post. Daylight savings or not? How do you handle different time zones. Do you count on the server? Well the short answer it seems is yes. But the long answer is - does it realy matter?
Well do I like this? The answer is yes. I can sleep in and be an hour late, wow daylight savings helps me me be a better person. More sleep = good. More comments on a post per day = good. More importantly it is impossible to be late!
Daylight saving for Melbourne Australia, you are great. Thank you and it can help slightly late web application developers.
