I flew out of ADL this morning on DJ bound for SYD and got to the terminal at 4.45am for a 6.00am flight. The Blue Check kiosks were all off line and said "available from 4.00am". At 5.00am precisely they turned on. There were also no check-in staff until 5.00am at the counters and a long line of people waiting. I later overheard three DJ staff talking at the gate between themselves saying there was nothing they could do because the computers wouldn't let them log on.
But, we took off on time and actually got into Sydney 10 minutes early!

Like a few lately, long time reader, first time poster. Great to be here.
Back in June 07 in NSW the Premier announced that we'd be getting an extra three weeks at the beginning and one at the end of the 07/08 period. Only poblem was, I don't think he told Microsoft in any great hurry and they had to push through a patch to fix the new dates. I deselected my 'Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes' in the date and time properties on my work notebook today and seems to have fixed it. Only a few more days to go anyways.

That seems to have been the biggest problem over the weekend, PC's changing a week early due to the software rules being wrong because of the changes. The same is true of most modern mobile phones. My Nokia N73 changed over on Sunday morning. Lucky for me I live in the UK, so the change was correct. But if I were to look at the time in Sydney on the phone ot now shows Sydney being an hour earlier than it really is. Next week it will be all right.
So guess the moral is it is fine for the pollies to change the dates etc, but anyone who has equipment or software that pre-dates the changes needs to be aware.

Yes well I am so annoyed at whoever decided to extend daylight saving time by one lousy week!!
 What difference is a week going to make to anyone or anything?? Besides confusing a lot of people this weekend (just gone).Like many people probably, my Nokia mobile phone automatically reset to standard time on Sunday morning without me knowing and I had totally forgot that there had been a shift to the end of DST and didn't think that my phone would have made the early switch. I stayed the night at a friend's place and therefore had to rely on my mobile as an alarm clock and luckily I glanced over at the traditional wall clock and noticed a discrepancy with the time! I went into a frenzy as to whether daylight savings had actually finished or not, had to Google what the time was because the computer's time may have been tricked as well, and then upon realising the actual time had to shower and get ready for work in the quickest time I've ever done, tear up the freeway, and fortunately was only 4 minutes late to preflight briefing with the other crew for my Townsville return. I wasn't alone - apparently a number of other cabin crew including a few close friends of mine had also been caught out by the same thing earlier that morning and rocked up 1 hour late to their shifts, which with a -45 sign-on time would have possibly delayed aircraft departures! Perhaps the government could have issued a release to the media reminding them of their pointless 1 week extension to DST so that the public could have been made aware of mobile phones or computers feeding them the wrong time? Hehe, sorry, just a bit of a rant from someone who got bit on the a*** by this!
