This explains why my Twitter Tools kept saying my posts were three weeks off, among other things.

Most people would just go in with the date command and reset it manually.

I’m a glutton for style, so I shelled in, ssh’d over to the other server that was off, and installed NTP, so I could let it get some atomic time. Of course, this fixed one issue, but pointed out another: I had a bad plugin installed.

I was using a plugin that would switch WordPress’s time for DST automagically for me, but I hadn’t noticed that it stopped working. So, when I fixed the time, and I tried to fix my time zone, WordPress kept ignoring the changes. I eventually went in, shot the old plugin in the foot, and presto!, I could change the time zone to match appropriately.

Now if only I had sat down and fixed my Gallery. I’m in the midst of transitioning away from Gallery 2 to something much lighter and more appropriate for what I do. I just wish that I could import my old G2 comments into ZenPhoto and get ‘er done.

Anyhow, progress will eventually be made.
