Just made this post, and now am editing it, so that might change the time stamp.
However, I made this post when all the clocks around here are saying 5:09. But the time stamp said 5:07.

Interesting - I notice the same thing, now that you mention it. Shortly after synchronising my Windows clock with time.nist.gov, Windows shows the time to be 13:32 CEST (UTC+2), while the time stamp in the board index shows 1:30 p.m. Down on the bottom right end of the index, it says "all times are UTC + 1hour [DST]".
We always knew Lance is a creature from another universe, but this 2 min offset in times is rather inconvenient, isn't it. I mean, haveing to reset your watch every time you change dimensions, that must be awfully cumbersome.

2 min difference here
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

Clock offsets are fun. Sometimes I'll send an email to someone, and they'll respond. Sometimes their response not only fails to include the necessary header information so that the message can be threaded, but also has a time stamp earlier than the message they are responding to.

Oh, that. Yeah, I've seen a 2 minute difference as well. It didn't bother me enough to worry about it but since you are bringing it up, I will look into it.

Well, the thing that made me notice was, when I posted about Yuri Gagarin day, when the clock on the cable TV box read 11:59 (in the evening). So I thought I had one minute left, which meant for you, it would have been 13 hours and one minute left. But then the time stamp read 11:57.

Okay, I think I fixed it. I didn't manually adjust the clock because I want to see if it updates by itself.
Help me remember to check in ~24 hours to see if it resolved itself.

Don't know what you're running there, but at one point, I had noticed that PC clocks seemed to have become much more accurate. I had speculated that maybe the latest version of Windows (which would now probably be several versions of Windows old) included some net-based clock synchronisation by default.

Windows has used network sync for a while. In my setup, everything syncs with my domain controller. The DC, however, was not syncing to an external source. This happened when I replaced it last year. The 2 minutes is the drift that has accumulated since then.
I've corrected it, so it will sync again but I want to be sure it's doing it by itself without me having to tell it to.

Hah...
I have a WWV receiver here, and I am about to have a buddy sell it for me on ebay. I may not know much, but I know the time pretty darn accurately.

I have a clock on the wall that sets itself by WWV. I want the watch that does it but that around $800.

What's WWV? Wand Waving Velocity?

Fixed. For some reason, it didn't want to include the final parenthesis as part of the URL the way I originally did it.
