    A friend of mine was buried under a pile of books. He has no one but his shelf to blame.

      Have you ever tried to eat a clock, it's very time consuming!
      The impossible is easy - miracles take a little longer

      Let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.

        A handy chart of all space exploration spacecraft:
        This stellar schematic traces the trajectories of over 100 exploratory instruments to ever slip the surly bonds of lower Earth orbit and successfully complete its mission. Newly updated to include the James Webb Space Telescope and the DART Impactor!

        As always, open the link at your own peril.

            What is the problem with the home page clock. After you have logged in it appears to have the correct year, month and date. Depending on where you are located, it might have the wrong day if the week and date if you are in a different time zone from where the server is located. The site gets your location from your IP address when you log in.

              It has been a day off since leap year, today is the 17th not the 18th.
              I'm only one time zone from the server.

                So if I do the math, You are 2,191.56 earth rotations from 2010. Perhaps Copytechnet is really a Time Machine!

                If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                    But it's not a matter of seconds. We are talking about a whole day here! I'm triggered, I need the home page to be my safe space

                      Like I said, it has to do with whether you are logged in or not. Yesterday if I logged out it showed it as Friday the 18th. After I logged in it showed Thursday the 17th

                          I told them adopting the Gregorian calendar was going to lead to trouble.
