I don’t set an alarm for 2 PM, get up, and then move the clocks.

But if I had to guess I’d say it moved forward at 2am UTC which is 9pm ET (I think?)

It’s always a bit screwy for a few hours whenever the clocks go forward or back.

It is working, but there are a lot of bugs to work out. Darn.

I will get that fixed soon. Sorry.

It is just after 10 pm EST Saturday as I post and just past 3 am Sunday UTC. When I worked for a multi-national we used to see this sort of thing with multiple sites showing the new time early. I think the IT/software folks had much bigger fish to fry than to code separately for each time zone. They just picked a point in time and changed all the UTC offsets for the US.
