Appointments listed 1 minute late

Appointments listed 1 minute late

[Steve Graham]

I noticed in Org Agenda that the appointments
 on the bottom Emacs bar (Sorry, idk the 
proper term) are 1 minute late.  So if the 
appointment is for 10:18 and now is 10:18 it 
says the app't is due in 1 minute.  If the 
time is 10:19 it says the app't is now.

I've also noticed similar behavior in todochiku.

Is Emacs reporting the wrong time?

Comments?


TIA, Steve

There are only 2 hard things :)

* Caching
* Naming
* Off by one errors

Martin,

   Thought about the 3rd one, not about the first one.  What do you mean by #2?

Thanks, Steve

"naming" presumably refers to the fact that computer programmers can't 
agree on naming conventions -- some like camelCaseNames, some like 
names_with_underscores, some like 
nHungarianNotation/n_hungarian_notation.
