What does this mean in English :)?

ok! a question on this.should I use clockspeed on
the machine on which I set my cron jobs?
If yes,then won't running clockspeed screw up the
kernel clock?what is the solution for this?

# ./sntpclock 137.92.140.80 | ./clockview
before: 2003-03-13 19:41:26.189311000000000000
after:  2003-03-13 09:06:28.739070999895311891

My clock is pretty screwed up. I don't know why?
I have also changed the battery.
But the after part is showing time as 9:06 which
is IST. Shouldn't it show time according to UTC?

But there is no right directory?
