Time switch creating computer nightmare

Backwards ClockYou know, this really deserves to be in large, bold letters:

TOLD YA SO!

And you can bet I'll keep you posted on the chaos ...

For the record, Hammerstead Farms will not be observing "Daylight Savings Time" - if you make an appointment to come out, plan on arriving on the standard time, and not some made up hour. If you're in doubt, try looking at the sun. You might learn something that our esteemed politicos in Indy are apparently ignorant of: you cannot change the time by passing a law. To trot out my favorite quote for situations like this: "You can put a shoe in the oven but that doesn't make it a biscuit!" (Malcolm X).

If you have an important meeting starting April 2, beware of relying on your computer for a reminder--there's a fair chance you'll be late. The state's first-ever switch to daylight-saving time will leave thousands of computers confused about what time it is, and their users not much better off.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
