I've added a new feature in my power logging processor that allows the
plotting of power input vs time of day. To do this I have to know the
local timzone so I can translate the UTC datestamp back to the local time.
`date` says the XO's timezone is set to UTC so I'll have to get it from
Last I knew we used standard Linux conventions for timezones and sugar
called the standard Linux commands (via sudo) to set the timezone.
But that should make 'date' report the correct local time (unless you
use '-u') so maybe someone broke that sometime in the past two years.

On an XO-1.5, I get a very useful list of icons that run different
hardware tests. On this XO-1, I only get an array of square outlines.
The first (top-left) is blue. The others are black. Clicking
