As many of you must have noticed, a few days ago a batch of password reminders were sent out by www.zope.org to you all. This batch was not the regularly scheduled one - in fact, it was spectacularly off-schedule - a few of you may have noticed that the reminders were dated Feb 6, 2036. The www.zope.org machine has been having some clock drift problems. We set up a frequent rdate synchronization with one of the NIST standard clocks to correct for it until we could concentrate on getting the clock problem repaired (we have enough fires besides), but either the clock drifted suddenly enough, or the rdate/standard clock sustained some terrible fluke, that a bad time slipped by. In any case, in its addled state the machine apparently decided it's time to send out the notices. The regular time for sending the notices is the first hour of the first day of the month. I will disable that for this upcoming month, and not trust it to a automatically scheduled routine until we track down this problem. Anyway, sorry about the gratuituous messages...
