Continuing Computer Observation of Phenomenon
Posted by GAJD3 (TD) Aug 20 2006 10:30PM
    


Hi to all, I have been watching the count down tourney time on the respective game home page v the count down time on the tounrey sign up page are different, sometimes by a few seconds other times by a few minutes. Hence, has anyone had or noticed this phenomenon? I am going to continue monitoring(switching back and forthe before tourney starts).Further, I am not sure yet if this may be related to any comptuer, "lock up", "freeze", graphic, text display problem and or related software issue. Input please!



Clock Differences

The web pages come from several physically different machines. Once a day all clocks on all internal machines are synchronized from a single secure internal machine. The discrepancies in seconds can occur for multiple other reasons as well -- e.g., before local countdown starts, seconds are dropped on web page displays after transmission, etc. These minor differences do not result in any errors or lock-ups. A very slow local count-down, however, may be an indication of a local browser problem.
