The clocks moved forward this weekend in New Zealand by one hour, which means we are now on Daylight Saving.
For most Kiwis, the key significance is the extra one hour's daylight at the end of the day - more time for the post-work BBQ. For those of us engaged in offshore contact however, it has another effect.
It moves our timing for overseas communication. In three weeks time, the situation, particularly with Europe worsens. With their clocks then going back one hour, it means the time difference between New Zealand and say, the UK, extends from 11 hours to 13 hours. Offshore Skype calls therefore move later into the night, NZ-time, to accommodate the extra two hour time zone difference.
Lighter nights are the positive. Not so the timing for offshore communication.

Interesting… I might try some of this on my blog, too. It’s quite interesting how you sometimes stop being innovative and just go for an accepted solution without actually trying to improve it… you make a couple of good points.
