Arrrgggghhhh!

I set the alarm for 5:50pm! Why do I keep doing this? subconcious
wantint to get out of getting up so early? I didn't *really* want to
do the BR today?

This is why I want my alarm under computer control. My computer will
NEVER get it wrong.

Another salient example of why the 24 hour clock is superior to the AM /
PM style.

We waited an extra 5 mins but 12 hrs and 5 mins might be pushing it.
Great day for a ride.

It doesn't help if there's a power failure and the user then
sets the time wrong due to a nearby clock being on
non-daylight savings time.. as someone might have done
on Thursday morning.. 4.40am became 5.40am and my
attempt to avoid peak hour traffic was foiled..

Mine is actually connected to the UPS, and also has an internal
battery. The internal battery uses an oscillator that is about 50%
fast, so if the power goes off for only a few minutes, I have to
readjust the clock. The UPS seems to put out 47 Hz or so, so it also
makes the clock go bad, just not as quick.

My code is giving me mixed signals. SIGSEGV then SIGILL then SIGBUS. -- me

Good idea though ;-)
