Especially to all of you who, just like me, woke up next to their beloved ones knowing they had to leave at 11AM, then to find out it wasn't 9am but 10am.

That would be Daylight Savings Time....Oliver wrote: What's DST?
And it's not even a Christian Holiday either, it's actually a Pagan Harvest festival that some ancient Pope gave Chrisitian signifigance to in order to help Absolve this particualar Pagan culture into the Holy Roman Empire - that's why Easter isn't a certain date, but instead a certain numbers of days after the Xth number of Moon cycles of the year.... There's some really useless facts for those of you who really couldn't care less.I've never cared about easter, It's not a *real* holiday for me. Only when I get a day off from school I care about easter![]()
See I had the reverse problem only a couple of days ago (my being in the Southern Hemisphere and thusly heading for Winter) - I woke up at 7am realised it was actually 6am and went to sleep for another hour!woke up next to their beloved ones knowing they had to leave at 11AM, then to find out it wasn't 9am but 10am.
Well... to be honest, I could care a lot less.... I'm making an OS too (like quite a few others here too) and I'd like it to have a "christian calendar" module that tells you when certain days are coming up and such. So, I really do care about how to calculate it. But my mom already found a newspaper article about the exact way to calculate it, and some of the weird quirks of it. If it weren't for the rest of my family expecting me to know it I wouldn't bother, but since I can't be bothered, might as well tell my computer to bother.I Lostalim wrote:And it's not even a Christian Holiday either, it's actually a Pagan Harvest festival that some ancient Pope gave Chrisitian signifigance to in order to help Absolve this particualar Pagan culture into the Holy Roman Empire - that's why Easter isn't a certain date, but instead a certain numbers of days after the Xth number of Moon cycles of the year....
