Are you burning daylight or saving daylight? Huh? Our government, in it’s *infinite wisdom* has decreed that time will change again this year. Only we’re going to save oil by starting even earlier. So you’ll need to make sure that your computers have the right patches installed so that we can all keep time properly.

Following last year’s rules, Daylight Savings Time would start on April 1 (the first Sunday in April). On the new schedule, it starts on March 11 (the second Sunday in March). And then instead of ending the last Sunday in October, it will continue until the first Sunday in November.

So what does that mean for us? Well, if you use Microsoft Outlook, you will need to download and install the Outlook Time Zone Update Tool. Windows XP users (you need to have Service Pack 2 installed and shame on you if you don’t already have it installed) need to install this update.

The part I hate worst about the time change is it always happens in the wee hours of the morning. I hate having to get up so early just to change my clocks.
