sobriqueIt is approaching that time of year once more.
Yes citizen, the clocks change. Time shifts by an hour. You will conform to this new way.
Ironically, I don't think I actually have to change any of my clocks. Well, the one in my car maybe.
But my clock radio'll reset of the DAB time signal. My alarm clock uses the radio clock. My computer uses NTP. And my watch just has a good idea of it's temporal position in the year.
And for those not quite sure which way around it is, there's the old adage:
"Spring Forward, Fall Back". You get an extra hour in bed on sunday morning.
