hey!
did the synchronization of your windows clock with the internet ever worked?
mine NEVER!I have xp since 01 and the servers on my german xp version are: time.nist.gov, time.windows.com, time.fu-berlin.de, time.microsoft.de .
why did they made this update feature if all servers are always down?idiots!
I use now an extern program

I go by Mcdonalds time.

Whatever time it is there, it is here.

Speaking of which, for the early worker, set your clock 1 hour ahead. When your alarm goes off and your still half asleep, and if youre like me, you will jump out of bed and get ready quickly before you realize what time it really is.

I go by the solar clock myself. When sun comes in the morning I know it's about time for me to go to bed.

I'm kind of the same way, but I wait until I can't see any sun coming through my window... then I get up. As long as I go to sleep before dawn, I'm guaranteed to never see that bastard ball of gas and plasma.

you can input the address of any time server you want. you don't have to rely on the presets.

reminds me of a story, you might have heard it. back around 1900 there was a baker that had fancy clock in his window, that he brought from the old country, there was a factory worker that passed his shop every day and set his watch by the clock in the window, one of his jobs was to blow the break and lunch whistle at the factory. one day the baker was outside sweeping the walk and the factory worker was setting his watch, and commented to the baker that he sets his watch there every day because his clock was so acurate, and that was importent because he had to blow the noon whistle. the baker then told him how he's sets the clock in the window every day at noon when the whistle blows. :p

No daylight savings where you live. You WOULD have to have your own method of telling time. McD's is as good a place as any. I thought you just waited until the sun came up in Sask.

Thats kinda how I was when I was off of work.

I use this along with 3 other alarm clocks set away from my bed and still show up late for work or sleep through them at times roflmao. Time for a new job I am thinking second shift would be best for me more and more.

I hate morning time when I wake up in the morning I always feel rougher then when I wake up mid day.
