On the bottom of my page it reads

All times are GMT +11. The time now is 11:05 PM.​
But now is 10:05 PM.

Without DST, it should read 9:05PM.

Help???

No, it is not that.

For GMT +10, the time should be 9 o'clock, not 10 o'oclok.

The server clock should be rolled back one hour later tonight.

Oh, I thought the BOS server keeps the GMT clock, not Sydney time.

My bad...

Strange.... I didn't notice the glitches yesterday

EDIT: I should point out the difference in time I observed is independent of Daylight Saving Time. I can only blame my misinterpretatoin of GMT +10 and GMT +11.

EDIT2: Perhaps an experienced IT was behind all this and instead of patching the TImezone profile they bumped the hardware clock ... who knows...

yeh the clock is out by 2 hours or something.

BOS should syncronise its clock with timeanddate.com

Yes, that would be me... because of that stupid extension to DST. Grr.

The clock is correct now, right?
