POVray does strange things to my clock (the computer clock, not my body
clock - but now I mention it.) Each time I return after a render the
computer has lost time, but not the same amount of time it was
rendering. It also does it in power saving. It's irritating, so if
anyone knows how to fix this bucket of bolts I appreciate the info.
BTW. Is it just me or is it other POVers that have permenant jet-lag
from irregular sleeping hours brought about by the need to "just finish
this, it won't take long"?

When I say 'bucket of bolts' I refer to my computer, not the master
crafted POVray that we know and love.

To start with, could you tell us what version of POV-Ray are you using?
Other details about your OS would be useful.

With the speed( or lack of it ) of my machine, I wouldn't call it
jet-lag, just bad judgment on my part.

That might help (it's getting late and my brain ceases to function at
this time.)
- Windoze '95 OSR 2,
- Time set for GMT 00:00 offset.
- WinPOV 3.1g,
- PII 233Mhz
- 192Mb RAM etc.

I'm guilty of staying up late rendering. I tend to get new ideas just when
I should go to bed.

I had the same problem. Look into replacing your CMOS battery.

That's what I was going to say. Although, I have never needed to
replace a computer battery due to a time dilation. Only typically lose
nearly a minute a month anyway, POV-Ray or not (I think). I have v3.1g
also under Win95 OSR2 and a 233MMX Pentium (not II) here. I can't
imagine it's a POV-Ray thing.

I have noticed my PC loosing time a lot as well. Its a P2 450, 128 mb, I
bought it factory new last september, so I don't think it's the CMOS
battery. I use Win 98 and Pov 3.1a

I considered that, but it really shouldn't happen with a computer a
little over a year old.

Sleep. You know you've been doing it when you wonder where the keyboard
imprint in your face has come from.

Had the same issue myself a week or so ago. Do you have much else
running at the same time? Any Norton utils?
I tried a few things (reducung what Norton monitors, unloading System
doctor, setting different priorities in POV-Ray) all to no apparent
effect.
Then one day I rebooted and theproblem had gone away...

Very much so. Speak to me wife... erm, at least I had one last time I
looked???

Would seem a miracle that anyone could be married to a non-Pov-Ray
user.
Maybe that's why I haven't gotten anyone to marry me yet. She would
need to be one. *gasp* I just thought of the consequences of that.
Never mind....

My wife is just glad that I have a hobby that keeps me home most of
the time. She doesn't complain when I comment on sunsets or flowers
either.

Mine gets bemused by my daylight activities. Wandering around town
with her I'll be watching something different each time - sometimes
it's people's hair, or the way they're walking. Most recently it's
been their ear-rings (because I was introducing some into an animation
and wanted to check out their reflectivity and "looseness" within the
ear.
She seems to find it mildly amusing that I'm not only able to draw my
eyes away from chest height but when I've a POV idea in mind rarely
even get to that angle!

Cliff Bowman
