When most of us in the US and Canada (except Arizona, Hawaii, Saskatchewan, and I think some other part(s) of Canada) go on Daylight Saving Time.

Why do I bring this up? Because those of you who don't change this weekend need to keep in mind that the difference between your time and ours will be different. If nothing else, just remember that Berkeley will be UTC-7 instead of -8.

Those of us who do change need to remember that the difference between our time and UTC is different, too. In my case, when I look at my host task pages, I need to subtract 5 hours from UTC instead of 6.

Personally, I would prefer to just stay on DST all year, but since when do lawmakers listen to what their constituents think?

I wish I could set the zone so the forum time would display my time.
