One of those two days every year...

One of those two days every year...

Ah yes, it's time for that twice-annual event,

RESETTING THE SCHEDULED TIME OF ALL OF OUR NON-HOURLY CHORES BECAUSE IBOGLIX CONTINUES ITS MINDBOGGLINGLY THICK POLICY OF REFUSING TO GIVE US THE OPTION OF SETTING THEM IN LOCAL TIME!!!!

I know this because of the number of times I've had Excel crash out from under my feet this morning (because of the error handling or lack thereof associated with this process) as I've been tediously going through and shifting things by 1 hour.

Technically this should have been done yesterday, but we had a public holiday.

And after all that, I could do with another one.

We can call it International "Iboglix Says 'Sod The Customers, We'll Do It The Way We Feel Like" Day.
It's only 'hubris' if I fail.
(Sorry, but I can't answer questions via PM. Please post them in the forum where you'll probably get a faster reply, and everyone can benefit from the answers. Thanks.)

Ah I have the luxury of another 2 weeks before BST ends and I have to do this. Luckily I've migrated most of the chores to the windows scheduler which is a bit more savvy when it comes to Daylight Savings Time, thankfully, so only a few to do for me.
