Time Theft

Last night, we were robbed an hour.
My wife was kind enough to let me sleep in. That was nice of her.

I did, however, awake to find myself a victim of the Y2K7 problem, as Derick mentioned.

Cheat sheet for Debian users:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libc6


Which installs new timezone database info...


The following extra packages will be installed:
  libc6-dev
Suggested packages:
  locales glibc-doc manpages-dev
The following packages will be upgraded:
  libc6 libc6-dev


And finally gives the proper time:

Setting up libc6 (2.3.2.ds1-22sarge5) ...
Current default timezone: 'Canada/Eastern'.
Local time is now:      Sun Mar 11 13:01:51 EDT 2007.
Universal Time is now:  Sun Mar 11 17:01:51 UTC 2007.


The Wikipedia article linked above gives other cheat sheets if you're not on Debian (my Ubunty Edgy laptop was safe).
