I have a setup where time is very important and I’ve discovered that two computers that are sitting right next to each other have a time sync anomaly. In just 12 hours the machines begin to diverge. The fix is very simple, just connect to them remotely and refresh their primary displays. This refresh brings them back into sync however the problem remains. It’s not something that is going to keep me up at night, since the application of these timers is not life-or-death critical, but it is remarkable.

There are a lot of “extenuating factors” in this particular anomaly however the part of me that is snarky and built on a foundation of sci-fi movies really loves the idea that there is a temporal anomaly in a very public space. After a power-push watching Primeval I can’t help but daydream about an anomaly opening up in this public space and velociraptors chasing students. I chuckle softly to myself. 🙂
