Server time sync fixed

As Jez has often pointed out, the time on the DannyStewart.com server has a tendency to run fast. When left alone for a month or two, it can drift as far forward as 10-12 minutes. However I believe I have now rectified the problem, installing an NTP (Network Time Protocol) daemon onto the server and setting it to synchronize the server's time with a global time server once every hour. There should be no more problems with the server's time being off.

I am very glad because this has been very annoying and inconvenient as I do not have any means other than this forum from which to derive the present time at all whatsoever for some reason.

Meh, I like to see clocks with the right time. Consider it an OCD. I hated watching myself viewing the forums several minutes in the future.

....it's two minutes slow.

According to GMT, it's 21.54.

For me, DSF is 21.52. Go figure.

Stupidly, this post is timed at the correct time.

Not sure how that works, as I set it to sync with the official NTP time servers (which run the time for a lot more important things than my humble site), and independently confirmed it with two other separate time servers. Ah well...
