ntp synch for windows
Not done a massively thorough amount of research with this so far...
Blatent plug link from the software website
Atomic Clock NTP Client Software - Freeware NTP Client utility from TimeTools to periodically synchronise time to a NTP Server.
I know someone who has issues with time/date on their windows machine. They are non-technical enough that they don't notice that the date has changed by several years and several months. Having said that they are aware enough to flag a security risk when their browser said it did not trust a secure website (certificate invalid) and took all necessary precautions including reporting the issue to the relevant people.
In fact it was the date/time issue causing the problem (certificate valid for a date range that starts in the future as far as the PC is concerned).
I have tried using the windows time settings but this does not seem to make much difference. I am looking (albeit not very hard) for a quick and dirty fix that I can just leave on the machine and forget.
This might fit the bill but I may need to look at running as a service perhaps?
hiding it from the end user in case it confuses them.

Possible new author to try
A colleague has recommended to me a series of books that he has enjoyed reading.
it is a series called "The Medieval Murderers" by C. J. Sansom (yes that is spelt correctly).
They sound quite interesting.

Uk dialling codes
Every so often I come across a phone number and try to recall whee it is from.
On this occassion I was looking for 01932.
Resorted to google and eventually worked out that it was Weybridge.
However I also found a wikipedia article listing them.
