A little while ago (minutes) I posted a comment to my story 'The Black Cab'. The time of the post was logged as 2016/01/24 - 7:07am
Yet it was 2016-01-24 06:47:00 (or thereabouts).
I know of some parts of the world that use the odd half hour as a TX offset (India is UTC+05:30) but this seems to be a case of clock drift.
If there a reason for the drift?
While I am on the subject of times, when does the 'day' start for the Hit counter? If there some mythical Timezone used for this? Perhaps the Sargasso Sea TZ?
This is fresh in my mind because I'm getting a lot of pressure from one of the systems I support to sync all the servers to the same Time source. The company can't accept that all of mine are sync'd to a Satellite service. The errant systems (now out by some 28 seconds after 4 years) were supplied by another company and we don't have access to them to set their time service correctly. After all the grief I had in order to get the dish installed on the building roof in the first place. Sheeeeeeessh.
Roll on retirement.

Running Fast...
FWIW, a couple of weeks ago (January 8) I sent Piper and Erin a note reporting that the site was running ahead. (It may be speeding up; the difference seemed to be around 19 minutes then.) Didn't get a reply, but hadn't checked to see if that was still the case.
Anyway, it's not a time zone thing. It's now 12:23 am PST. Well see what it sys.

This site appears to be about 20mins ahead in its timestamps

Wait for it
We will fix when we get back and have stable connections.
