Mail from ICTS on Friday 5th:
Enough said.Dear UCT staff and students,
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the system of setting clocks one or two hours ahead of standard time so that sunrise and sunset occur at a later hour, thus artificially moving a period of daylight to the evening hours. South Africa does not use this system and the DST setting is centrally de-activated on the GroupWise server at UCT.
This deactivation of DST did not flow down to all GroupWise users [! how surprising! - Ret.] and as a result some people’s calendars will switch to DST at the end of March. If you are affected, a once-off configuration change is required.
