BillyBalata Posted July 3, 2001 Share Posted July 3, 2001 I noticed this on the other board too? Other then the time zone difference it always seems to be fast about 15 minutes. Are you guys always late for meetings so you like to set the clock ahead? Quote Link to comment
WJW Posted July 3, 2001 Share Posted July 3, 2001 It's a server thing. We have our servers managed by another company but I'm sure I can find some UNIX command and telnet in to update the clock. Just never figured it was that big a deal. Quote Link to comment
KC Crazy Posted July 4, 2001 Share Posted July 4, 2001 Use NTP services WW, it is simple and it is accurate. Let me know if you need assistance. In Linux or NT it is easy to integrate. Quote Link to comment
BillyBalata Posted July 4, 2001 Author Share Posted July 4, 2001 Probably not a big deal, was just curious. Although, over in the League Forum we had talked about using it for our Free Agency system and did have a 12 noon cutoff time for Bids. Would hate to make my bid 12 minutes before cutoff time and find out I missed it because the difference in time. Will have to be aware of this if it stays the same. Thanks Quote Link to comment
DMD Posted July 4, 2001 Share Posted July 4, 2001 In one of my Huddle leagues, we have a 5 PM cuttoff on free agency and that means I have to make my moves by 3:44 in order to beat the 5 PM timestamp. Well...at least it is original. Quote Link to comment
BillyBalata Posted July 4, 2001 Author Share Posted July 4, 2001 So, is there a spread sheet out there somewhere, so I can plot the coordinates of the times, depending on what time zone I am in, so I can gain the optimal advantage over my opponents? Quote Link to comment

KC Crazy Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 Will do WW. For everyone else, NTP is network time protocol and is a simple program that goes out and synchronizes the local system time with a networked time source from a number of bodies (free). The thing is accurate to the fraction of a second. Quote Link to comment
MikesVikes Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 The bars in my neighborhood turn the clocks ahead 15 minutes so they can kick 'em out on time. Don't you wish. Quote Link to comment
