I’m fiddling around with my WordPress plugin and I added a feature to show posts sorted by what hour of the day they were posted, just because I wanted to see what that would look like. Of course, I already had an idea of what it would look like before I wrote it, and I was quite confused when what I made didn’t match my expectations. Geeks are funny that way.
I most often post either during lunch, or when I knock off work between 5pm and 6pm. So, what I expected to see was a mostly flat grid, with a spike in the noon hour, and then another spike at 5pm. What I got was…

Have I been taking long lunches? Quitting early? Why are half of my lunch posts at 11am and the other half at noon? I could understand if they were all shifted forwards or backwards in time, depending on what time zone the server is in but…
<forehead slap>
Daylight savings time. Obviously the server is not taking part in the great American temporal hallucination that is DST.
I work from home, and my wife homeschools our children, so DST doesn’t really affect our lives except to annoy me twice a year.
Playstation 3
What was the problem with the Playstation 3 hardware and why did Sony build it that way?
Dead Island
A stream-of-gameplay review of Dead Island. This game is a cavalcade of bugs and bad design choices.
Please Help I Can’t Stop Playing Cities: Skylines
What makes this borderline indie title so much better than the AAA juggernauts that came before?
Joker's Last Laugh
Did you anticipate the big plot twist of Batman: Arkham City? Here's all the ways the game hid that secret from you while also rubbing your nose in it.
PC Hardware is Toast
This is why shopping for graphics cards is so stupid and miserable.
Silly silly man.
Did you come up with that description of dst yourself? It is so wonderful. Either you are very clever or someone you read is. (or both I guess)
mom
The description is mine, so both the credit and blame should fall to me.
