Time Theft

Last night, we were robbed an hour.

My wife was kind enough to let me sleep in. That was nice of her.

I did, however, awake to find myself a victim of the Y2K7 problem, as Derick mentioned.

Cheat sheet for Debian users:

[geshi lang=none]

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libc6

[/geshi]

Which installs new timezone database info...

[geshi lang=none]

The following extra packages will be installed:

libc6-dev

Suggested packages:

locales glibc-doc manpages-dev

The following packages will be upgraded:

libc6 libc6-dev

[/geshi]

And finally gives the proper time:

[geshi lang=none]

Setting up libc6 (2.3.2.ds1-22sarge5) ...

Current default timezone: 'Canada/Eastern'.

Local time is now: Sun Mar 11 13:01:51 EDT 2007.

Universal Time is now: Sun Mar 11 17:01:51 UTC 2007.

[/geshi]

The Wikipedia article linked above gives other cheat sheets if you're not on Debian (my Ubunty Edgy laptop was safe).
