Daylight Savings Time
Every spring and fall, the switch between daylight savings time and standard time really messes up my internal clock. My body is in its own time zone anyway; I think a normal day should start around 0930 and end around 0100, so shifting sunrise and sunset times around doesn’t help.
My computer, however, normally handles things just fine. Except this year, when the spring ahead date is moved up. I run an older version of Mac OS X (10.2.8 - yes I know, ancient), so Apple isn’t showing me any love with a patch to make things better. Which is actually all right, because by building OS X on top of BSD, Apple made it possible for others to make good things happen.
Ars Technica has an article entitled “The comprehensive Daylight Savings Time guide for your Mac” that tells me (and you) what I (we) need to know about getting the right patches and updates, including patches for older versions of OS X such as 10.2.x. As for me, I’ll probably be out of whack by an hour or two until at least the middle of April…
