GOD DAMNIT!!! I just slept 10 fuckin hours and it is still on 9 days!!!
I remember it around 70. It has simply flown since then. In fact, time is flying right now. I never feel like I have enough time to do anything.

New Orleans Hornets and flop king CP3 are coming to town for the first game. I hope the Spurs kick it up a notch.

I know that.
I was thinking that maybe I have been spending to much time here, but figured that it was impossible to do that.
However, maybe the solar system accelerated to speeds near the speed of light. Maybe that is why it seems stuck.

Just a few more hours!:downspin::downspin:
I just noticed that the clock is an hour off.
Spurs game tips off at 7 PM Central tonight.
That would be in 6 and a half hours. Countdown shows 7 and a half. Maybe a time zone issue or something.
Don't trust it! :wow
clock appears to be 3 hours off to me.

I figured out what was the problem with the countdown timer...
If you connect to the site with http://spurstalk.com then you can see the timer
If you connect to the site with http://www.spurstalk.com then you cannot see the timer!
I thought it was Safari, but nope.
EDIT: I take that back.. it worked for a while now it's gone again...
Oh well, 5 hours to go...

The countdown claculation is based on Greenwich mean time (Zulu time) and if your computer clock is set up properly (time and time zone) then the countdown should be correct. Unfortunately since Europe changed back to winter time last weekend it adds more problems since we noticed already last year that some time servers do not switch from summer daylight saving correctly.
Anyway check your computer's time settings and it shouldn't be more than 1 hour off (in theory...) :)
Whether you see the countdown or not depends on the skin you've selected. Flash enabled skin will show the countdown, default will not. It is however true (and strange) that sometimes settings for the two afddresses are stored separately - which it shouldn't.

Thanks for the flash-enabled skin setting tidbit... that fixed the counter display.
The clock is off exactly one hour here. I'm on EDT time and my clock is properly set.

As I said if your settings are correct and the clock is one hour off then it has probably to do with your local time server not being aware of the daylight change in Europe. Last year the problem fixed itself after the US also switched back to winter time - so I'm guessing it's the same this year.

Weird. I just tried both Apple Americas (time.apple.com) and Apple Euro (time.euro.apple.com). Still showing it off by an hour in both cases.
Don't worry though, in 5 hours nobody will care either way... :lol
EDIT: And BTW, the Forum's posts actually do show the correct time. I would expect those to be off also if the DST setting would be off...

Yeah, I figured it was something we could blame on those damn farmers. Seems like daylight savings is late this year; it's on Halloween night.

It is weird and it was confusing last year as well - as I said when the US switched as well it resolved itself. I know it's not logical but here it is.
I've tweaked a setting in the animation and it's still showing the correct time for me. Has it made a difference for you?
Yep, mine shows correct now. 5 and a half hours to go.

Still showing 6:24:xx, when it should be 5:24:xx...
