Ok, thanks for the blog post, but as "comments are closed"

1) "On Sunday, November 4, at 2am PDT (Second Life time), the SL time clock will change to 1am PDT. "

This should read:
"On Sunday, November 4, at 2am PDT (Second Life time), the SL time clock will change to 1am PST. "

(PDT Pacific Daylight Time - PST - Pacific Standard Time)

I'm 5280 miles away from LL USA and manage to get it right!

2) Thanks for the blog mention last week when a great majority of your EU (vat chargable) customers changed from daylight savings hours.... (tongue in cheek)

3) Why close comments on such a simple blog post??

Gomez (with a bee in his bonnet) :D

I missed Robin Linden's office hour because LL didn't tell me my clock had gone back. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

I'll give you a synopsis of the comments if the blog was open:

LINDEN LABS SUCKS

Who really needs to read that over and over again for something as simple as a time change?

But they don't - Yes they make a LOT of BIG mistakes, but we wouldn't still be here if they were that bad...

I main gripe is that the just don't seem to be contactable (yes i know we have the live chat and stuff, but you never feel like you are speaking to LL - just powerless "moderators" of LL...

My mind has been in the gutter all day.. I'm not going to respond with my first thought.

Seriously, this thread proves why the comments are off ;)

One example of how important it is to leave comments open is the fact that you call it "Daylight Savings Time" in the thread title. It's "Daylight Saving Time." I rate that not very important, but I do think there's a place for getting things right for its own sake.

I don't think they do. I was simply stating what you would read over and over again in the blog comments, as always.

Daylight saving times is very important. If you dont forget to set your clock right you could be an hour late to work!

Or worse, an hour Early!

I don't know why I bother even coming to these forums anymore. It seems all I see are poeple bitching and moaning about one thing or another.


Was it really necessary to start a post about a typo?

Did you or did you not understand the context of the blog post? But still felt the need to complain anyways?



btw, feel free to jump all over any of the typo's I purposefully put into my post....I know you have nothing better to do.

And yet.. and yet.. you had to post too! See, it's called an addiction! The first step of the goodness knows how many steps is to admit you have an addiction!

For some reason, I never get past the first step.. so I have no clue what the rest of them are ;)

Also, it's not exactly about the typo.. we have long since learned not to expect perfection from the poor sots at LL. It's about our need to make them see the errors of their ways! Sorry, couldn't resist. Two kids, allergy meds and not sane by any stretch of the imagination.

Exactly. I've given up pretending. I could easier never go in world than never come here I think.
