just thought i would point it out

Good point...I guess it's DST.

Actually, the TM time is spot on.... but not for the following reasons, for a change!

The time for TM is generated by a sub-mollecular oscillating quartz-radium frequency which is emitted by the atomic clock on Jupiter, Jupiter Mean Time.

Currently, because Jupiter is in and out of phase with Bellexor 44 (the 44th sub-satellite of Saturn), there's a shift in the delay which occurs between the signal leaving Jupiter and arriving on your screen or reception zone.

Historically, TM's time was derived from divination. The famous mystic, Mystic Mellinda, donated her all-seeing eyes to TM for use as an oracle, and subsequently, the time was fantastically accurate—but every now and then jumped forward to a future point there in.

More recently, the time was left in the capable hands of the comedy magician Jimmy Crockett... which was a huge mistake. We even had to write down on the hands of the clock "LONG", "SHORT", "SECOND" so he knew which was which. The suggesstion of a TM speaking clock on Skype was soon dismissed, after Jimmy's initial audion went along the lines: "C'mere, c'mere... Da time sponsored by Jimmy's Wrist will be, just before teatime, which reminds me, I've got to get some HobNobs to take round my grandmas. Oh, da grand old Duke of Your!".

Now, taking into account TM's shoddy history of time synchronisation, and now knowing what you know, you will understand that my opening statement "TM's time is spot on" is actually true, good old TalkMagic.

Time as a measure is an abstraction and physicalisation of a non-physical concept which binds together the univers. Our conception of time as a number is, and will always be, nothing more than pure guesswork based on cycles and rhythms. There is no 'accurate realtime', and accuracy can only be defined as a machine which can keep the correct rhythm. In fact, if time was a number, to clearly define it's accuracy, we'd need to go back to a point where time actually began, and scientifically measure the elapsed seconds space between then and now and re-calibrate, creating a time profile.

Alas—because this is impossible, we're stumped. Simple.

...Ho hum. Look in this post for a solution.

Edit: Perhaps my post wasn't clear enough?

or you can click on "profile" at the top of the page.. then scroll down to "time zone" and then change it to "GMT+1" and click "save changes"

that is genius!!
i really shoud've spotted something like that, guess my cryptography qualifications do have a another year left til competion though!

Well, 3 cups of strong coffee later, and looked at my post with new eyes.

Sorry for the confusion, it was my attempt at humour!

FAR too early in the morning for stuff like that..lol

Siege, I'm wanting to ask why youu were drunk at 7.26am, but how can I be sure the time was accurate?

Actually, just noticed that the time is actually wrong and hasn't gone forward with Daylight Savings (which we all L O V E don't we) *grumble*
Not that I have the motivation to set it to GMT + 1

So, Seige (spelt it right this time), this means you were actually drunk at 8:26am, which is respectable. As a student I say good on ya!

Nobody said I was drunk, lol

Denial is not good!
