Extractions: Linux, Clocks, and Time This document explains how to set your computer's clock from Linux, how to set your timezone, and other stuff related to Linux and how it does its time-keeping. Your computer has two timepieces; a battery-backed one that is always running (the ``hardware'', ``BIOS'', or ``CMOS'' clock), and another that is maintained by the operating system currently running on your computer (the ``system'' clock). The hardware clock is generally only used to set the system clock when your operating system boots, and then from that point until you reboot or turn off your system, the system clock is the one used to keep track of time. On Linux systems, you have a choice of keeping the hardware clock in UTC/GMT time or local time. The preferred option is to keep it in UTC because then daylight savings can be automatically accounted for. The only disadvantage with keeping the hardware clock in UTC is that if you dual boot with an operating system (such as DOS) that expects the hardware clock to be set to local time, the time will always be wrong in that operating system. The timezone under Linux is set by a symbolic link from /etc/localtime to a file in the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory that corresponds with what timezone you are in. For example, since I'm in South Australia
Extractions: Any manned venture to Mars would involve a lengthy stay Researchers think the human body clock could hinder space exploration. Russell Foster's team at Imperial College London, UK, is looking at how astronauts would cope away from Earth. Foster says our "circadian rhythm is crucial. It stops everything happening at once and co-ordinates the right things to happen at the right time". Whilst the human body is used to a 24-hour cycle, the day on Mars is an extra 39 minutes long, which could prove difficult for humans to adapt to. The Imperial researchers are working in conjunction with the US National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) and have been investigating the impact space travel has on human sleep behaviour. As the NSBRI's website puts it, "the success of human spaceflight depends on astronauts remaining alert while operating highly complex, state-of-the-art equipment. A crucial factor of mission success is getting enough sleep".
Vendor Sun Blueprints Online Using NTP To Control And Synchronize System Clocks This is Part 2 of a threearticle series that discusses how to use Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize system clocks. This article explains the basics of client and server administration, covering various client/server configurations, as well as authentication and access control mechanisms. This article also provides a number of suggestions for an effective NTP architecture. http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0801/NTPpt2.pdf

No. 1506: The First Mechanical Clocks Mechanical clocks replaced the old water clocks, which, by the 13th century, Like mechanical clocks, they tolled the hours and displayed the planets. http://www.uh.edu/engines/epi1506.htm
Extractions: THE FIRST MECHANICAL CLOCKS by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 1506. Today, we look for the first mechanical clock. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. I n other programs, we talk about what a fool's errand it is to name the first inventor of anything . But since the exception really does prove the rule, let's raise yet another priority question; let's ask when the first mechanical clock was invented. Mechanical clocks replaced the old water clocks, which, by the 13th century, had been around for millennia. Water flowed steadily into a vertical tank and the rising water level indicated the time of day. That's simple enough, but, like mechanical clocks, water clocks had become ornate structures with gears and dials. Like mechanical clocks, they tolled the hours and displayed the planets. What makes a mechanical clock is a mechanism called an escapement the balance wheel on a watch or the pendulum on a grandfather's clock. An escapement ticks in a steady rhythm and lets the gears move forward in a series of little equal jumps.

The Match In the beginning of the Renaissance time period, we can see the first portable clocks developed in Florenece, Italy, in 1410 by Filippo Brunelleschi, a famous architect. Before this time, mechanical clocks were large, fixed devices. The spring- driven clock made it possible to carry the time around with you.
