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? Yeah. It worked this time the way it is supposed to.

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.

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.
