Somewhere In Time
“Say, kids, what time is it?”
Well, the server at my webhost isn’t too sure what time it is, actually. I was going through my stats this morning, to check up on you sneaky holiday visitors, and saw that someone had visited in the future. Allowing that, unless I had either overslept by twelve hours and we were having a solar eclipse or the laws of time and space had changed when I wasn’t looking, such an event shouldn’t happen, I checked my server time. Sure enough, it was twelve hours fast. Last week it was more than twelve hours slow, which caused a post to roll back, with all the comments on said post. But, that got fixed. So, this morning, I sent in a ticket. I’m sure it will get fixed eventually, but, until then, I’ll be living a little bit into the future. Now, if that only helped me get the groceries home faster or my bills paid on time….
(Oh, and the title of this post is also one of my favorite, super-sensitive-modern-guy, romantic-like movies, Somewhere in Time. Gotta’ love that Jane Seymour!)
How funny! First, I loved “Somewhere in Time.” Second, in the “Back to the Future” vein, I alluded to it just today. Maybe some tie-in to the visitor to your site from next Millenium, but I wouldn’t hold Cheryl Ladd’s heart to it. 😉

It’s that extra second they’re working out. They? What gives? Where is your moon? The sky tonight gave a sliver.

Where is my moon? It has set, sunk deep in the ocean, lost and alone, waiting for her rebirth and another month to circle round.
Ah, forgive me. It’s late and I’ve grown maudlin again.
I suspect it really relates to the server time being a bit off. Or the algorithm I stole to make the plugin being a bit off. That’s the most likely. After all, crime does not pay. Much.
