Not that i care, but still it was a funny early morning incident!

My fone has an alarm for 8 am in the morning. So as usual the alarm rang today morning, i got up and checked my emails on the laptop. I have not configured the local time on my laptop, as it helps me in easily checking Indian time while calling through skype, and the clock showed 10.30. Too early for a sunday morning eh! So i thought i should sleep back again!

I slept off, after about some 50 minutes, my fone alarm started ringing again! I checked the time and it was again 8 am!! Damn! I wasn't drunk or anything last night, and i had a deja-vu kind of a feeling, that i got up and checked emails sometime back! I opened the laptop again, checked emails, and i think you all will appreciate my aging but still awesome memory, all the emails were marked as read!

Now this was getting a bit weird! I just hoped that it had nothing to do with my watching 'Resident Evil' yesterday night! Suddenly, self realization dawned! I am not a sissy chick thinking about stupid movies, this has to do something with brains :D :D   And weirdly enough, the laptop clock showed 11.30 am now!

Now this is simple, blame everything on my aging HTC tatto phone and go back to sleep ! :D  :D But no my dear friend! Nerds dont go for the simpler solutions! After spending some good 20 minutes reading through google translated sites, i found the answer! By the way, google translation tool is good, except that these guys need some better grammar teachers!

The problem was, that last night, at 12.00, Romania shifted to something called Daylight Saving Time. And i have kept my HTC time settings, to adopt network provided values, so that i do not have to change time manually to the local time whenever i am going  to some other time zones! And well, co-incidences happen more often than they should happen. My fone synced with the network time sometime just after my alarm time, to give me two alarms for the day!


In retrospect, when i read my blog title again, i think i lost close to two hours in this whole damn thing! One hour due to shifting clocks, and then other hour researching about this stuff, laughing on myself and then writing down this stupid blog! Phew. I am an idiot!
