   Since the pre­vi­ous Fed­eral Gov­ern­ment announced the time change to April from March in August 2007, I’m con­vinced Microsoft NEVER got around to have the patch for XP and Vista SP2 (KB951072) down­loaded in the monthly upgrade BEFORE March 2008, cer­tainly domestic machines. Maybe the Howard Gov­ern­ment had a few prob­lems of its own at the time. I heard so many people say their com­puter changed time, even mine and I am espe­cially proc­at­ive to such things, in March — one month pre­ma­ture and a lot of mobiles as well. I have a cross to bear against Microsoft (and of course Mr Howard) for COMPLETELY screw­ing up the DST date change in March 2008. Ideally I would have liked Microsoft to apo­lo­gize to the decent cit­izens of New Sales Wales and Vic­toria for this screw-up. But that was never going to happen.

   I, on behalf of Microsoft, apo­lo­gize to the cit­izens of Aus­tralia for our stuffed up day­light sav­ings sys­tems in Win­dows and other products.

   Sooooo glad I don’t have to deal with that shite any more. Why oh why oh why do soft­ware developers con­tinue to bury tran­si­ent inform­a­tion in each and every device. Stick it in the cloud and test for what’s changed each time you get a connection.

   Feck

   Yeah. It worked this time the way it is sup­posed to. Worth wait­ing up for. 1:59:58, 1:59:59, 3:00:00 right on cue. Ahah wait iPod changed OK but not my HP Ipaq even after a sync. HP rub­bish? I want a new PDA any­way with Win­dows Mobile 6.0, maybe a HTC Dia­mond or Touch Cruise?
