what's up with the board clock?

decides2dream · August 2006

no...not a big deal or very important...but yes, i wonder about these things. my computer and this board seemed eerily synchronized time-wise and now all of a sudden, at least 1 to 1.5 minutes difference, sometimes appears like 2 minutes off. simply makes me wonder..is it my computer, or the board, which is off...anyone else notice the time synchronicity out of whack?

Test to see what time this says I post compared to my computer time.

Results: The board appears to be 2 minutes fast.

well cool, thanks...glad to see it isn't 'just me.'

what can i say, i am a fan of synchronicity.

speaking of which...

With one breath, with one flow
You will know
Synchronicity

A sleep trance, a dream dance,
A shared romance,
Synchronicity

A connecting principle,
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible.
Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectible
Yet nothing is invincible.

If we share this nightmare
Then we can dream
Spiritus mundi.

If you act, as you think,
The missing link,
Synchronicity.

We know you, they know me
Extrasensory
Synchronicity.

A star fall, a phone call,
It joins all,
Synchronicity.

It's so deep, it's so wide
Your inside
Synchronicity.

Effect without a cause
Sub-atomic laws, scientific pause
Synchronicity

ahhhhhhhh...the police, the 'pearl jam' of my youth...loved em!

If it's still slow, maybe your computer clock is acting up?

WinXP has a feature built in to automatically synchronize once a week to either time.gov, or a windows clock. In XP SP2, this feature was changed to update every 24 hours. You can synchronize whenever you'd like by right-clicking the time, clicking "adjust date/time", then going into "internet time."

Edit -- Maybe it is the boards. The boards are at least 60 seconds off on my end as well.

Its all relative to where you synchroinze with and when you do it and if you do it

Computer clocks can go wobbly, I have mine updated by the ntp.demon.co.uk server every day.... BUT if the PJ forum is not updated by this server chances are my time will differ too... and the same goes for anyone else who updates or syncs with a different server

Time is all man made anyways...

My clock is two minutes slower than this forum.....

just noticed, it's getting worse. seems like almost a full 3 minutes off now. what gives?
*actually, it's about 4 minutes now.......:o

decides2dream · October 2006

sheesh! we're now at a 5 minute time differential! i hope with the clocks falling behind this month, perhaps they'll resync the board clock b/c yea, not important...but a bit annoying. bizarre.

Leo86 · October 2006

I've been wondering about this. Its 5 mins fast for me now. Its getting faster every day.

Slip Kid · October 2006

omg! I can't tell time

yep...still is. we'll see when daylight savings time ends if it get fixed.

catefrances · October 2006

are you people kidding? i have an hour's difference. i still can't work out why. my computer clock is spot on but the pit clock has been out by an hour for a while now.

now of course i may have you confused with someone else, but if i remember correctly, you live down under yes? if so, that explains the hour time differential. since our 'seasons' are reversed, so is our daylight savings time. so then, when daylight savings time ends here on the 29th, your hour time difference should auto-correct.

however, i am then interested, even with the hour being off, is it exactly one hour?...or is an hour + or - 5 minutes? b/c then you'd still be on the same page as the rest of us.

indeed i do live down under.
you know i thought perhaps it had something to do with daylight savings and then i wasn't sure and i couldn't be bothered asking.

yep. and i was just recently messing about with my 'options'...and i noticed a choice for automatically synching with DST or not, so there's another choice for ya.

anyway, the clock is now off by about 6 minutes...continuing to get worse, so i do hope when we 'fall behind' this sunday, they resync the clock i guess to the atomic clock, so we're all on the same minute.

what's DST?

daylight saving time.

so then, DST has come and gone . . . and the board clock remains 6 minutes fast. bleh.

yosi1 · October 2006

Yup. Still at least 6 minutes fast. It really threw me off the first time I noticed it to.

decides2dream · November 2006

YES.
don't know exactly when it happened...but it is fixed.

time synchronicity returns.
ahhhh...it's the small things.

haha.

what's up with the board clock?
