Last year, experience taught us that turning the clocks back on Novell
networks can be quite a challenge for the overnight staff in GP
co-ops, so this year we distributed some step-by-step directions. But
the best laid plans....
There were, as expected, a rash of calls at 2am this morning from
operators who had got into a tangle. But the best one didn't come to
light until 9am when one co-op called to say their rotas weren't
presenting because the program thought it was Monday. Investigation
revealed that the staff member who had been asked to do the clock
change was due to go home at midnight and, as it was quiet, she loaded
fconsole and made the change at 00:45. Thus, instead of putting the
clock back one hour she put it forward twenty-three.
Roll-on year-round European Standard Time!
