This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

I hate Daylight Savings, always have & always will. I don’t see the point. So what if it’s lighter, later? That just means that more lights are being used in the morning, when it’s still dark. A/C is being used more, because people are up later. And being a parent who had kids in school, getting kids to go to bed on time presented major problems. I hate Daylight Savings, period.

Actually, I don’t mind it all that much. Or, at least, I didn’t mind it all that much when I worked in an office. It was nice having more light in the summer evenings.
And Second Son wouldn’t get up for school anyway.
Now that I pretty much set my own hours (as long as I get the job done and keep the boss happy), it doesn’t matter so much.
The farther north you go, the more it affects things. I was in England, which is actually farther north than Newfoundland, the year they tried extending DST year-round. In December, the sun was rising about 9 a. m. and setting about 4 p. m.
