Time Change on Fedora 10

[jbk]

I use NTP to set the time on my computer and in the past the time change
has been automatic for switching from daylight savings time. Today that
did not occur. I get the tzdata updates including yesterdays.

Oops, I just remembered that because this machine was dual booting with
Win 2000 in the past that I did not use NTP or UTC. My other machines
running F10 did switch automatically.

Not too long ago I woke up on the daylight savings change day and it
hadn't changed because it turned out my time zone was set to the one
in Indiana that doesn't change.  I'm not sure how that happened -- I'm
sure I didn't do it, and it would be an odd default to pick.

I suppose it can be said I'm an absent-minded driver.  It's true that
I've driven through a number of red lights on occasion, but on the
other hand I've stopped at a lot of green ones but never gotten credit
for it.

True, if you use local time, the system does not switch automatically,
but you still can use ntp.

Indiana has improved, but it used to be a nightmare.  There were parts
of Indiana that were on Eastern, parts on Central, parts that did DST
and parts that did not. While Indiana is still partially in Central
time, all of Indiana now does DST.  Why your system was set to Indiana,
only you know :-)
BTW: My fedora 11 did change properly, but I have UTC as well as NTP set.

No, I don't know, so only the great System Administrator in the Sky
knows.

We had a young pitcher on that club named Jimmy St. Vrain.  He was a
left-handed pitcher and a right-handed batter.  But an absolutely
terrible hitter -- never even got a loud foul off anybody.

...he came back after striking out the second time, Frank Sele, our
manager, said, "Jimmy, you're a left-handed pitcher, why don't you
turn around and bat from the left side, too?"

Actually, Frank was half kidding, but Jimmy took him seriously.  So
the next time he went up he batted left-handed.  Turned around and
stood on the opposite side of  the plate from where he was used to,
you know.  And darned if he didn't actually hit the ball.  He tapped a
slow roller down to Honus Wagner at shortstop and took  off as fast as
he could go...but instead of running to first base, he headed for
*third*!

Oh, my God! What bedlam! Everybody yelling and screaming at poor Jimmy
as he raced to third base, head down, spikes flying, determined to get
there ahead of the throw.  Later on, Honus told us that as a matter of
fact he almost *did* throw the ball to third.

"I'm standing there with the ball in my hand," Honus said, "looking at
this guy running from home to third, and for an instant there I swear
I didn't know *where* to throw the damn ball.  And when I finally did
throw to first, I wasn't at all sure it was the right thing to do!"

Davy Jones, quoted in "The Glory of their Times" by Lawrence S. Ritter
