Kind of puzzled about timestamps

Here's my story about time...

I had an old computer I was using as an email server and I just configured the time to sync once a day, which seemed often enough for email. The clock started to go bad, drifting several minutes a day (I don't remember now if it was forward or backward because I'm getting pretty old myself), and when it resynced each day, well, I couldn't understand why my logs kept indicating that the system was violating causality...

Depends on the size of the asteroid. (apocalypse humor)
