Indeed there is. When daylight saving time is in effect, all (well, except a couple places, like most of Arizona) time zones in North America switch to Daylight Time: DT, instead of Standard Time: ST.

Big surprise:
If you scan the barcode above your ID number, it says your ID number
Tah-Dah!
That was a waste of 5 minutes
Ah well. Thanks for going to the trouble.

I am mathematically challenged it seems. Trying to figure out the bar code using the correct system.
Ok, first set of 6 is the start code. Got it.
Second set is the first two numbers on my card. Got it.
Third set is the next two numbers. Got it.
Fourth set is the next pair of numbers. Got it.
Same for fifth and sixth set of 6....got them.
Now I have one number left. It is a five on my card.
Seventh set of 6 translates to "101/code A".....eh?
Eighth set of 6 translates to "21".
Ninth set of 6 translates to "35".
Tenth set of 6 is the stop code.....got it.
Am I to assume that my "check number" is 213? And why does it interrupt my code? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

At Dark UFO someone has pulled some sound bites
If you don't want to hear them don't go there.

Screw that. Take it to your local 7-11 and ask the clerk to scan it for grins and giggles......
Or stop into any Toys-R-Us and scan it yourself.

Okay, here it is: http://twitter.com/dharmawantsyou
As of now, I'm the only one able to tweet, which is no good! I'm trying to think of a way around this. Also, I am hoping it's cool if I use "dharmawantsyou" - I state in the bio that it is not affiliated.
Now that I think about it, it's probably not. Oops! Anybody think of a better name? Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. lol
Usually, people share Twitter updates by using hash tags . Just subscribe to the user @hashtags and make a regular tweet using a pound-sign followed by a keyword (I'd suggest #DWY). Then you can subscribe to the #DWY feed on hashtags.org and you will be notified any time anyone in the world tweets with #DWY in their message.

I wouldn't worry about going to bed and missing the opening. Chances are strong we'll just crash the server anyway with everyone trying to hit it at the same time. I doubt (hope) this is not a race about who is FIRST to access the testing. If you think about Dharma philosophy, it's suppose to be relaxing and peaceloving, not rush rush rush.

I guess they'll make it like their first countdown and put it in at 12:00, missing the correct date.

Yeah, which makes it 10:21 here in CT. And means I got to get some shut eye. Bummer. I was looking forward to this all day.
