Summer time again
=================

Recently there was  another time shift. This time it  was from a winter
time to the summer time (oops, too  much mentions of "time" in just one
sentence!) so we lost one hour of sleep.

Obviously, everyone is a bit sleepy this week (including myself).

And my electronic  gadgets dislike the shift ever more.  As usual, most
of Linux devices handle the change automatically (usually thanks to the
NTP, I thing).  Even the Pebble smartwatch changed the  time without my
intervention. (but it is not a Linux device, of course)

My SGI O2 uses the NTP, too so there was no problem.

Older devices, however, can't do this  so easily. All Palms a nd Psions
have  to be  updated  manually (no  advantage  over mechanical  watches
here). Even  the Palm Centro  needed to  be updated manually  no matter
that there  was something like "update  time and date manually"  in the
Prefs.

I was  a bit unsure  how to  change time on  my Seiko DATA  2000 watch.
Fortunately  it can  be done  with buttons  of the  watch (there  is no
reason to attach  their keyboard). One just need to  read the manual to
know which button have to be pressed in which order.

I have no idea about Android devices as I haven't needed to turn on any
of them so far.
