I just noticed that my clock stopped forty minutes ago. "Hang on, it can't still be twenty-five past four!" I thought to myself, before looking at my watch and confirming that no, it was five past five.
The weird thing is that this isn't an analogue clock we're talking about. It's the time readout in the corner of my Windows taskbar¹. Clicking on it to bring up the calendar reveals that the computer knows fine well what time it really is, but for some reason it hasn't updated the display for nearly three quarters of an hour.
Weird.
¹ Yes: I, a confirmed *nix elitist, have to use Windows at work. Laugh all you want. If you're wondering how I cope, the answer is "Firefox, cygwin and XMing".
