Don't forget Daylight savings/Summer time

On: When Does Y2K Begin?

Down here in Australia, we get to see the new year kick in a little earlier than most. But many of the infrastructure components, utilities, will have their date roll-over at 1am localtime. This is because the systems do not handle that wonderfull shift of an hour ahead for summer time. End result is that most of the people will breath a sigh of relief at midnight and blissfully unaware that 1am is when the silicon new year arrives. I am assuming that this may well be the case for many other embedded systems the world over.

Of course New Zealand will be an hour earlier so that is even better, we can watch what happens there first.

Now I got to go party some more, NOT . The Y2K system watch is boring so far...
