After not using my desktop much for the last nine months, I noticed that there had gotten to be about a ten minutes descrepancy between what it said the time was and what my clock on the wall said the time was. I was hesitant to rely on the wallclock, but it is in accord with my wrist clock (commonly called a watch after what I do with it all day long), and some simple googling led me to this page, and a good thing too. I was set to the us government time server! (because it is one of two that are default with windows xp, and i preferred to think that the us gov would be more respectable than microsoft).

And of course now, I have changed to the pool linked on that page, and now my clocks are all in sync.

that's rad - I've never given thought to the time servers...

so that was an interesting read. as I'm forcing myself to learn mac - no idea where my PC syncs to - but the mac seems to go to an apple server. I suspect that's accurate enough for me :)
