My RHP timezone settings are trying to tell me that it just after 9:30 in the morning, but by my reckoning it is nearly 10:30. My timezone settings are correct, but the clock is out about 50mins. Anyone else noticed this?

it's out by an hour. I am 1 hour ahead of GMT but have to set myself to 2 hours ahead to get the correct time. I think this started when we switched to summer time.

If you put your timezone 1 hour ahead then it should be OK for you too - if you can ignore the ~7 minutes that some bear haters seem to think it's still out by πŸ˜‰

The problem with being off an hour is possibly something to do with compensating for 'daylight saving time', which I don't think was programmed to work automatically. That means you need to offset your time zone an extra hour to make the correction. It will need to be reset again in the fall, at which time your time zone should be correct again for your local time.

The other problem is that the server seems to gain time a little each day, and needs to be corrected periodically. Most of the computers I have owned over the years have this same problem of slowly gaining time.

are the computers gaining time or are we slowly having time stolen from us, minute by minute, by aliens?

i use a little program called System Suite 4 by Pro-Comm... it only costs 50 bucks or so and does multiple chores... firewall, virus protection, disk and registry cleaning... it also connects to the bureau of standards computer once a day and sets the clocks on the four machines here in my office. RHP is off by several minutes, but i like it that way. If the world all runs perfectly, i get very nervous. RHP is for recreation and enjoyment. The clock being off reminds me that it doesn't matter! time to enjoy another move.
