Maybe there just is no body ? Is there a way for me to try that request ? This is a deeper issue (I described it in a reply to a message 'Strange results from Zinc for the www.delicious.com domain'). I am working on it. Sven

Re: [Pharo-project] System time

by Jimmie Houchin

Hello, My OS for this application is Windows. On a freshly opened image, the image and OS time are in sync. Over a period of time the image drifted 34 seconds away from OS time. I do not know how long I had this image open, but it has been a number of days, possibly a week plus. I saved the image and quit. I reopened the image and did DateAndTime now and it was in sync with the OS once again. Same image, vm and OS that was out of sync by 34 seconds only one minute before. I have opened an image on my server which is also running the latest cog vm, the current Pharo 1.3 and Windows Vista. I am going to periodically do a DateAndTime now to log the drift if any. Prior to opening this image I updated the OS system clock with time.nist.gov which is about 1000 miles away. I know that within a second or so it can be subject to my coordination of doing DateAndTime now while watching my OS system clocks seconds. But 34 seconds is beyond any subjective standards. The only reason I discovered this was while exploring how I want to retrieve my data, act upon my data and then pause (Delay wait) until time to repeat. dtnow := DateAndTime now. dtnext := DateAndTime year: 2011 month: 4 day: 30 hour: 11 minute: i second: 5. "The next minute in the future" (Delay forDuration: (dtnext - dtnow)) wait. I got an error, that Duration cannot be a negative number. As I processed the debugger, I saw that dtnow was greater than dtnext. I watched the OS clock and manually selected the next minute before I executed. However, I was within that 34 second window. So now I am exploring the problem. Thanks.

The OS clock is right. It's Pharo that has drifted away from correct time. Regardless it would be nice if I have to correct the OS clock, it would still be nice to resync Pharo with the OS, keep both in sync and correct. What I am wanting is simply to resync the Pharo clock with the OS clock. >> >> It seems that when the Pharo image is started that it gets the OS System time, but keeps its own time after that. Now I do not know the consequences of Pharo adjusting its time backward. If this isn't possible, then I might have to do some workarounds to insure that I get my data in a timely manner. >> >> The image I have been developing in is currently about 30 seconds ahead of the OS clock.
