Clock too fast again

[Sage]

BTW, is there a reason it keeps doing that? I could understand a few minutes, but it keeps going off by over 10 minutes every few months...

Hmm, my computer clock says 12:00am, lets so what GTP says.

[Edit] 11:13pm /me adjusts timezone.

Bah, it's already set at GMT + 12, I remember Jordan saying this will be resolved in vB 3?

Damn daylight savings

It's 15 minutes fast on my end. Of course, I never bother to look at post time as much as post date.

Diddo - times are irrelivant (: So long as it was in the past 12 hours or so.

Yep, it's off, and I just reset it. I'm really not sure why it does that.

It gains a few seconds each day and builds and builds as the weeks add up - in a few weeks, it'll be a minute fast, then more, etc, etc, until it's no longer accurate.

Well, yeah, but it shouldn't be that huge of a difference (several seconds a day is a lot!). For comparision, my old watch here tends to be off by about 20 seconds each time I reset it on New Year's Day... I'm not expecting the server or whatever to be as accurate as a watch, but it shouldn't be that huge of a difference within a span of a couple months.
