Another reason to hate time change

I’ve never been a big fan of switching back to standard time from daylight savings time as it gets dark sooner and the long days of winter are ahead (OK, I live in San Diego and winters aren’t all that bad, but I’m more of a late spring/summer kind of person). On the news last night, they reminded us that this will be the last time change in October as next year daylight savings time ends one week later. What problems will this cause? Well, for every device that has time zone information built into it, for example Palm handhelds, they’ll either have to issue a software update or everyone (in the US) will have to create new time zones with the correct start and end dates for daylight savings time. Furthermore, all the synchronization software will have to be updated to handle this. Talk about another headache for me. Time zones are enough of a problem in software without them changing.
