AULRO Time

[101RRS]

Now that the important areas of Australia are now on Eastern Summer Daylight Saving Time - can the time on the AULRO website now be set to the correct time :p

[Quarks]

The time looks right to me :whistling:

Try checking in User CP > Options, then halfway down the page that you've got the right timezone, and that the DST settings aren't 'always off' and it should be right.

Mind you, I got to Uni this morning and was totally thrown that my watch was running the right time (I hadn't changed it on the weekend, nor in the morning). It took me about 10 mins to figure out that for the past however long it is since the last daylight savings change, I had been running it an hour fast! :angel:

;)

Gandma's know stuff mate.

The only ones to benefit from DST, are the office dills, who get an hour more at the beach after work.

It screws with international air navigation like nothing else. It plays havoc with international financial doings.
It's on a par with Political Correctness, and the Democrats "validity".

Bah Humbug to DST.

OK, OK, have you all had your fun?

At least in Queensland we are not on artificial plastic time :p.

barryj ducks for cover, but he's ready for bed.

[Lotz-A-Landies]

No...just 20yrs and 1 hr behind Australian time :D:D I miss DST!! :(
How about we all stay on Zulu time then we wont bump into someone else who is at the same place but in the wrong time zone! :D:D:D:D

The dogs still think they get fed at sun up and sun down. I keep telling them that it's AEST but they simply refuse to accept it!

Sunrise tomorrow is at 5am and sunset at 1804. That's fine.

Why don't businesses who want DST just open 1 hour earlier and close 1 hour earlier. That would be a good solution in my books.

Yeah, but if it's a government department that wants it, then you need to move the rest of the state!! :o

Our dogs dont have the luxury of being fed twice a day.

You know it's funny how we have had DST for bloody years, I have no idea how long but the same coments come up every year in the papers etc.

There are time zone changes across the whole world and everyone deals so why should 1 hr be a problem.

When I was on wages I loved DST as it meant I could work longer and earn more money, It makes no difference to me what the time is as I have to be at work with the sun not the clock as we have to mow greens before to dew lifts and the golfers start.

As far as the airlines and stuff goes I can understand with the travelers but those guys that work in those fields generally are pretty good with maths, Im sure they could add or subtract an hour.

Last time I had anything to do with aviation they used UTC as the time basis

Yeah, that's true.

I guess I'm just an old stick in the mud type.:D

It worked just fine for great grand pappy, it's worked just fine for me all my life, now some youngster with a better idea wants me to change? Bah humbug.:(

I still live on the farm, sun comes up, sun goes down.:angel:

[shorty943]

Does here too Shorty :) I just don't like it at the height of summer when it comes up at 4.30am :( and goes down at 6.30pm :(


You got to move to the Riverland, where the sun comes up at 0430, and doesn't set until 2230.
Lots and lots of lovely sunshine.
Stupid daylight saving.:mad:

How so? did u get more sunlight than everyone else?:D:p:D:p
When I have lots to do in the day, I just get up earlier, works for me.

:D:D:D:D:D

Apparently, the SA Riverland gets about 400 hours more sunshine per year than the Gold Coast.
But. It's pretty flat out here, come height of summer, the sun "seems" to come up just after midnight, and just stays in the sky. There is still a lingering Indian twilight, until almost 10 o'clock at night.
A real right royal pain, when life has been, work till it's too dark to see then come in for dinner, sleep, get up at first light and start again.

Sun comes up, sun goes down, wax on, wax off.

having spent most of my life in the southern states {with dst} and now residing in qld,i can't understand what all the fuss is about. basically i think that people in qld/sa /nt/wa are just set in their ways and don't want to change. but by the same token do we really need daylight savings?:angel:
