I have no idea if my current linkss problem is related to this date issue, but I noticed after applying the python update I had folders that had creation dates listed as tomorrow at 2:31am. A bit disconcerting to see things with creation dates in the future.
My current woes: upgraded to 5.4.4 on pw1 to get goodreads., installed Dev Certs, Rescue Pack, Python and Linkss in that order. No cover-SS love yet.
I appreciate any and all suggestions!

Thanks so much for the wonderful hack! [incidentally I don't see the searching for screen savers upon reboot for some reason - I'm used to see that flash up on the screen while rebooting]
