LJ and daylight savings time
Mar. 12th, 2015 12:15 pmI have been using scheduled entries for my book list posts, setting them to post at 23:59 on the last day of the month, and entering books as I go. In January I noticed that LJ interpreted my entered time as 5 hours later than it should have been, and went looking for timezone settings. Found that I was set as GMT, probably because it was a default set whenever LJ had added the functionality, and changed it to the correct US/Central.
Today when editing my End-of-March post, I saw that it had propelled the time forward an hour. So I had to change my timezone to US/Mountain to make it display the correct time. Looks like LJ does not know about US daylight savings time--or possibly it's set to change over on the old schedule and I'll have to fix the timezone again in mid-April.
Also, I am highly ambivalent about DST. I like the extra daylight in the evenings. But I hate getting up in the dark, and it had *just* reached the point where I was getting up in daylight, only to be set back into the dark. And I don't like the jetlag adjustment twice a year.
