Blather, rinse, repeat

It's only Pi day in America unfortuantly - here, today's date is written 14/3/10. Shame, I wanted pie.

As a programmer, daylight savings is incredibly annoying. It's a combination of several things: ambiguity over just what happens to e.g. anything scheduled to run during the time jump, governments constantly fiddling with when daylight savings starts and ends (requiring software updates to cope with this), and the occassional bug resulting from daylight savings being applied (this is more of a problem in the UK than elsewhere, because here for half the year local time = UTC and so you might not notice if something was using local time when it should have been using UTC). Then again, as a programmer it would be much more convient if everyone just used the same timezone :)
