Not necessarily. To be inexpressible in software, all it has to do is be unpredictable; it can still be boring.

Let me define "local snoozing time" (LST): it's set to my local standard timezone as of today, but every time I hit the snooze button on my morning alarm it shifts 9 minutes backwards (the length of the snooze). By definition, I wake up at 8am in LST, regardless of what the world is doing.

If the time shifts by more than one hour compared to the prevailing timezone, LST shifts forwards by a whole number of hours on Saturday morning, 2am LST to minimize that difference.

This timezone is "boring" but uncomputable, since it depends on unpredictable events.
