Spring Forward 2015

On Sunday March 8, 2015 (today), at 2 AM the United States - except for Arizona (with the exception of the Navajo Nation Community) and Hawaii - and thereby SecondLife Time (SLT) also started Daylight Saving Time (DST) and "spring forward" the clocks to 3 AM.

The following four weeks will mean a period of total time confusion in SecondLife before Europe and Australia catch up.

Europe "springs forward" on Sunday March 29, 2015, while Australia (in the southern hemisphere) "fall back" on Sunday April 5, 2015.

...and then all will be well for awhile until the fall, when we go trough the opposite confusion.

Bock in SecondLife is - as always - here to aid you and has a clock with the correct SLT time in the right column for your convenience.

UPDATE: Edited according to my friend Petr's correct observation in his comment below!

Spring Forward in Europe

On Sunday March 25, 2012, at 2 AM, Europe also starts Daylight Saving Time (DST) and "spring forward" the clocks to 3 AM.

This should alleviate some of the present confusion about time in SecondLife but we still have to wait for Australia (in the southern hemisphere) to "fall back" on Sunday April 1, 2012, for everything to go back to normal.

Two Solutions to a Womans Problem

Blanche Argus (blog Blanche´s Arena) is having problems with the fact that time in SecondLife is mostly announced in SLT (SecondLife Time). SLT is the same as PST (Pacific Standard Time) because the SecondLife computers are placed somewhere in California, United States of America.

I suggest Blanche does what I did and adds two clock gadgets to her desk, with one showing her local time and the other set to the time in Los Angeles, California, USA.

To make it even easier she could choose a digital clock gadget that also tells her if the time shown is AM or PM

Another solution could be to add the clock gadgets supplied by Blogger and set one to her local time and the other to SLT/PST.
