Seriously, the only thing more painful for me this week than reading this comment, was signing up to reply. Between three and sixteen letters my ass!
> Given that everyone has a smartphone these days (well, the people that matter)
Really? The only people that matter are those with cell phones? When I was growing up, and even last night, I was told by local news to set my clock back an hour. They've actually been telling me since Friday night, which is great because I rarely watch the news and don't subscribe to cable.
Yes, I have a cell phone, and yes it's a smartphone of a recent generation, and no I don't like it that much.
> With this system there would be a lot more small talk chit chat about time, you could plausibly arrive a minute or two late and 'not realise the time'. Time could be vague yet oddly accurate at the same time. It would be a whole lot of fun.
Great! I'll be in Belgium this week. Standup at the normal time?

- veezus_the_krei 13y agoAssuming a cell phone and indicating that only people with a cell phone are important are two different things. And your cell phone doesn't tell you it changed times, it just changes it for itself.
- Dylan16807 13y ago>Assuming a cell phone and indicating that only people with a cell phone are important are two different things. And the original post was the former, so it all works out. >And your cell phone doesn't tell you it changed times Is that needed? Well it's easy enough to add that feature.
- veezus_the_krei 13y agoI retract my earlier comment about the most painful thing I've read this week.
- Theodores 13y agoWell I am glad that I have managed to get someone to sign up and contribute! I do enjoy writing with my tongue firmly in my cheek when a story is either a 'first world problem' or if it has been discussed to death many times already. Hopefully I brighten someone's day, even if scores of others mod me down! Anyway, welcome from lurkerdom to contributordom!
