NewBuddhist error: Time slippage

LincLinc Site ownerDetroit Moderator
edited July 2012 in NewBuddhist.com
The server's time was slipping ahead incorrectly. By the time I found out, it was over 4 hours ahead. When it was reset to the correct time, it made the most recent posts beforehand appear to be 4 hours in the future.

For the next 3 hours, new comments may appear out of order. There's no simple way to fix this, apologies. Be mindful... or something. :p

    I was wondering why one of fede's posts hadn't happened yet. Thought I had lost my mind.

    Maybe we should merge this with the time travel thread!

    we can't merge them.. what do you think this is, a string-thread...?!

    Let's buy one of those new electric DeLoreans and go to the future to prevent all such time slippages once and for all. (or have I got it the wrong way round... should be going to the past..? :eek2: ) No, leave it.

    No, I think he was [edit] of German descent........

    It's nothing to do with descent.. You ought to watch BTTF again :cool:

    just reinforces my basic personal understanding (which I do not claim to be buddhist or not) which is time is not linear. It makes no sense to me, however left and right are going to be confusing until I get those tattoos :thumbup: :thumbdown:

    I used to have regular time slips in my drinking days. You know, it was like Thursday and I'd meet up with a couple of pals, and the next thing I knew it was Tuesday, with very little recollection of the previous days; and just a bunch of UDIs to show for the missing time.

    And once I woke up on a Saturday and got ready to go out, only to discover it was actually Sunday; I remember being gutted!

    Time runs more smoothly these days, thankfully.
