LEF time vs. reality

Indy · 01-25-06, 08:20 PM

The time keeps throwing me off on LEF.

Here's the deal:

I currently have it set to -5 hours and it reads an hour ahead of my time.
If I set it to -6 hours, it jumps back TWO hours.
If I set it to -4 hours, it jumps forward two hours.

For example: It's currently set to -5 hours. In my world, it's 8:18. In LEF time, it's 9:18. If I choose the -6 setting, it goes to 7:18. So a change of one hour in the setting creates a TWO hour time difference. I don't understand that. If I choose the -4 setting, it jumps to 10:18.

What the heck am I doing wrong? I'm sure the answer is.....REALLY.....obvious, but I just can't seem to figure it out.

It's very simple.

The time you spend here has no correllation to reality.

Obviously you haven't upgraded your Bambleweeny 57 sub-meson brain for a few months...

Naa, it's just that Indiana still hasn't made up its mind what time zone it really wants to be in.

So now we don't fit into any of the time zones?

Reason number 4,839 why Indiana sucks. Out of ALL the time zones in the world, we don't fit into ANY of them.

Indy,

Did your 'puter adjust when daylight savings time changed?

Does it show the actual time or is it off by an hour?

Just a thought.

It does adjust automatically, but I've long since adjusted it back. Looks like I'm out of luck. I figured even with the time change (and Indy not changing) we would still fit in somewhere...guess not...

Oh well, I tried.

I should be in the same warp zone as you...here's what my options read

(GMT -6:00) Central Time (Us & Canada), and Mexico City. I also have it to detect DST on full auto!

My times are correct. I'm miffed.
