Just wondering why the EBI clock is 10 mins slow. Or am I 10 mins fast? :shock:

Low or fast, that's impossible to determinate. Instead, only try to realize the truth:
THERE IS NO CLOCK.
Then you will see, it is not the clock that's slow or fast, it is only yourself.


Ok: lazy admins.

So if I post this message now, it will show up 10 mins earlier than when I wrote it?
What would Einstein make of that? :shock:

It was just a quote from an obscure '98 movie about virtual reality and hackers.

I've just installed a NTP daemon which should take care of that problem in due time :D

Thanks.
