Subject: [PATCH] change the default value for CurrentTime property in
 ViewModel.

I previously set CurrentTime to the current time on the system. I've changed it to 'Not Set' so dev's can identify any configuration errors. I've done this because I fell foul to that problem already. When I was initialising MainPageVM, I was using DateTime.Now as the default value and when initialising it in the View class (MainPage.xaml.cs). This confused me because I couldn't understand why the time wouldn't update when I change the code.

Basically, I was updating MainPageVM because the time displayed on the dashboard matched what I set it as in the ViewModel. But, the time was being changed in the View class (at run-time) with the DateTime.Now property.
