    Daylight Savings Times

    For Western Australians - If you wish to have the times correckly displayed on posts etc - go here: http://thewholeforce.com/profile.php?do=editoptions and change time zone options to "Automatically Correct DST Settings" - it seems to work for me, if not - change to "DST Correction always on".

    Bummed that the weekend was one hour shorter than usual

    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

    In February it will be darker earlier then what it is now...because the summer solistice is December 22nd, so the days get progressively longer until December 22nd meaning more sunlight...then they get progressively shorter until June 22nd.

    So by 7.05 pm in February, the sun should be hardly a problem

    Funny anomoly - as the days start to get shorter after the summer solstice, you'll find that rather than the sun setting earlier, it rises later.

    The sun actually continues to set later until around mid January when we have the "Latest Day" of the year as opposed to the Longest Day of the year. Sunset in Early Feb will be sometime after 7:00pm, with daylight savings make that after 8:00PM

    Sorry, Lonzy
