LDN - Luminis Developer Network

Recently when I have visited LDN there have been lovely pink/red/salmon boxes at the top of postings containing error messages.

For example:
http://www.lumdev.net/node/3528#comment-9078
warning: strtotime(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/New_York' for 'EDT/-4.0/DST' instead in /srv/lumdev.net/htdocs/modules/comment/comment.module on line 1514.

Or for a search:
warning: Parameter 1 to comment_nodeapi() expected to be a reference, value given in /srv/lumdev.net/htdocs/includes/module.inc on line 462.

This suggest to me that something has changed. I like the Wellian concept of it being not safe to rely on time. This really helps me in my day to day work setting.
