Time IS important

2009-08-01 23:37:07.424393+02 by meuon 0 comments

I hate time. There is never enough and it is relative. Besides doing date math in computers, I just hate the whole concept. However, I just invested a couple of hours (wasted?) in messing around with encryption keys and certs.. some of which were not working. Why? Because I was signing them a couple of hours in the future of the clock on the server that was checking them for validity. Time IS important.

On the good side, it proved the certificate begin date stamps are working. Laughing..
