Official US Time
NIST maintains a site that gives the official U.S. time using a Java application. It looks as there are some other interesting exhibits on this site as well. For some reason I haven’t investigated yet, my computer is not synching correctly to a network time server, so I decided to find an online clock.
Morning fog
Some winter mornings it is clear here, and still foggy in the valley below and to the east of us. The bright square is our neighbor’s window.

Missing Entries
Yesterday evening, I got home to find out that the entries I made in the morning were not showing up on my website. (Yes, I check my own weblog: doesn’t everyone?) My service provider had moved my files to a new server, and things got out of sync. Fortunately, I was able to log into the old server, save the MySql database backup to my PC, then apply the backup to the new server. Now I know that the MySql backups will work. I had always been reluctant to test since I only have the one live database with which to experiment.

on my website yesterday, this was the reason.
