For a month prior to the transition this past spring, the separator pages generated by the shared company printers contained a handy reminder that Daylight Saving Time began early this year. The reminder remained on the separator pages as late as the summer solstice.

Maybe the people who design the separator pages didn’t have anything more interesting to say, so they let the old message ride.

Public Service Announcement
This weekend marks the end of Daylight Saving Time in most parts of the United States, the first “return to standard time” cutoff under the new transition rules.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
