The new Daylights Saving Time (DST) begins on March 11. Most people will barely notice the change, but we technology folks get to go patch crazy.

I work in a ColdFusion shop, so today we are upgrading the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for about 30 web servers. Fun stuff!

Sometimes, Adobe documentation is pretty crappy. Here is their Technote on the DST change and ColdFusion. The Technote tells you to upgrade ColdFusion’s JVM, but doesn’t tell you how! Thanks, Adobe!
I did some digging, and eventually found this Technote on how to upgrade the JVM, but what a waste of my time!

Luckily, there was a discussion on CF-Talk about the DST patch, and the people there hooked me up with some great resources.

So far, the score is CF-Talk: 1, Adobe: 0. ColdFusion developers, if you’re not on the CF-Talk mailing list, what are you thinking??
