Partly because of inherent complications DST switch brings with it, and partly because of my inexperience with the issue, there hasn't been a single switch so far that hasn't caused me (and Gixen customers) grave problems. <br /> <br />This time I hope it will not be so, as all preparations are already in place. <br /> <br />The most important lesson learned: Never, never keep servers in any other than pacific time zone (same one ebay servers are in). Why would that matter, you may ask - eastern time zone is fine, just subtract those three hours, and you are set? Well, the problem is... The switch does not happen at the same time in different time zones... Servers in the eastern zone will switch first (causing the time difference to become 2 or 4 hours instead of 3). Then, three hours later, just as I would think I fixed everything and I'm ready to get some well-deserved sleep, switch happens in the pacific zone, disrupting things again... and making the fun last the whole night. Not this time. I hope.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
