Just curious because I didn't notice anything posted on this.

I noticed though in the course of everyday "life" in SL that many clocks, calendars, etc, didn't make the DST transition successfully earlier this month.

I assume they will correct themselves when DST is "supposed" to happen (according to previous rules.)

Anyway, not asking for help or anything, as doesn't affect me (well, except my clocks are off) was just curious that it didn't seem to get mentioned here, unless I totaly missed it.

Well, cant help it if the script fails to dst adaptions when it calculates local times.
But then again, this is no big loss, as there is no such thing as daylight-saving on the internet.
I bet the scripters just didnt bother for dst's, for good reasons.

when I scripted clocks I used GMT + offset to calculate it and did not try to autoset any DST, since many countries have differing days, and apparently the USA can't make up it's mind...
