Daylight Saving Time
In past years there would be a small box on the front page of the Saturday newspaper reminding you to “Spring Forward.” This year daylight saving time comes early (this Sunday) and numerous stories have been written on the subject. Ranging from updating computer software to tips on how to handle one less hour of sleep. The early change has to do with the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to help conserve energy.
Computers will need to be updated for the new time changes. I checked Microsoft’s Daylight Saving Time Help and Support Center, followed the instructions to download an update program and had everything taken care of in minutes. On my Mac, I just ran Software Update. Check here for more info on how the time change affects the Mac.
You may think you can update the time manually on Sunday but on the old daylight saving time date, your clock will change again. In addition, it will change too early to standard time in October. Daylight saving time will end on the first Sunday in November this year.
You may also need to update your PDA and other electronic devices that are time sensitive.
