It appears that something's working. I have the region set for GMT+10
(Melbourne, Sydney, etc.). Messages that I'm posting here have the +1100 time
stamp on them. However, all calendar data is still either an hour out or that
all day events are spanning two days.
Looks like I'll have to change them back manually and see what happens at the
other end of DST.
Also my PDA is doing weird stuff as well. When it syncs the date stays at the
pre-DST time. I have to manually change it and move it forward an hour
afterwards. Luckily though the calendar data in it doesn't appear to have been
affected.
I've posted a question in the pocketpc newsgroup. Hopefully someone will have an
answer.
As a political rant, it really, really annoys the crap out of me when our
various state governments decide to "give" us an extra 3 weeks of DST. The
public servants who dream up this rubbish obviously have no idea as to how it
affects people in IT and hi-tech industries.
I wish that they'd simply leave it alone. It's bad enough that we have to have
DST, let alone have it change outside of the normal last weekend in
October/first week in March...
