What time are you?

from JoeUser Forums

A while back, Cordelia did a blog on where are you.  But it was limited to the 50 states.  Which was good, but not really good for all.  Recently, Sally posted a blog, and Dynamaso said something about posting while we sleep.  He lives down under, so yea, he is offset from us colonials by 12-14 hours.  I know Islandgurl is also over there as she does not usually come on line until after 6pm, my time.

But I am curious as to where you are at in time.  Here on the east coast of America, we are at GMT-4 right now (Greenwich Meridian Time).  We are also on daylight savings time (you know where you cut off one end of the blanket and sew it to the other end to make it longer.)  During normal times, we are GMT-5.

So where are you?  For windows users, it is easy to find out.  Go to your PC Clock and click on Time zones.  It shows you your stated one (alaskan time) but also your GMT offset.  So let us know.  And the fun of this is everyone is right (OBTW:  Macs have the same setup on their Date/Time Control Panel - Mason will have to instruct you on the Linux setup - i.e. where you can find it).

Show us your Clocks!

Hey this is fun I'm at G+11. It includes the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu as well. So I didnt suffer any jet lag when I moved to here, hehe.

I think Maso should be at G+9, but on my computer it says G+10... Must be the dalight saving thingy too.

I will let Maso answer for himself, but apparently he is farther west than you.  How is your bug?  I hope it is getting better, or this is the Docs computer!

Except the computers do it themselves now!  I always check my computer during those 2 times!

No Fair!  You got the One Ring!

I thought as much, and it is kind of nice to know.  Guess it is late for you.  See you tomorrow!  Still working on the computer!

I think that the east coast is on GMT -5 (not GMT -4)-- at least that's what my computer is telling me.

Now I feel bad!  We are having an extended spring, so it is nice and comfortable (very atypical).  I will blow some of the weather over your way.  After all I am a blow hard!

You must be in Indiana!  Wait, they went to Daylight Savings time this ywar as well!

Oops!  Yep!  Windows does not tell you the DST offset!  Stupid Microsoft!  Oh well, yes, we are -5 normally (or since DST is going to be 8 months of the year, is that normal?)  -4 Now.  Maybe thye can just make it year round so I dont have to try to make my watch move ahead an hour. 

nah!  Like the are going to make it easy?

My initial reponse to that was going to be...I'll go and lay in bed and wait for it, but thinking about it, that just sounds plain wrong! So I shall say nothing, probably safest option, haha!

Depends on where I am on any given day, with my job you could say I'm a professional time traveler.

If that's the case, then Sally can't be GMT, because we are five hours behind England. You see, the Brits do Daylight's Saving too.

That is ok, I got a laugh out of your almost response. actually the cable is going bonkers right now as we are having Tornado Warnings all around us (warning means one is sighted). Fortunately, the operative word is around us right now.

Oooh! can you tell me the winner of the NBA Playoffs? I was going to hit DynaMaso up on daily baseball scores!

Sure, when JU is up. The forums dont let you. But glad the bug is retreating! Need some mantra praying or other good karma?

Yea, but does Greenwich do DST? Right now, I should shoot the guy who invented it! Oh, well, lets stick with just the GMT offset and not worry about DST. A lot of boards do not change for DST. Smart boards!

GMT+10 here - there's no daylight saving at the moment in Oz. It's nearly winter here.

Well, since it's part of England and the Brits do, I would imagine that Greenwich does too.

I think you mean: Om mani padme hum.  (Which means "hail the jewel in the lotus")

Anyway, I exist in official Stardock time

Well here in the Caribbean I believe it is GMT-4 Caracas, La Paz. I don't have day time sayings and that sucks when you have satelite. In January I'm watching 2 episodes of Start Trek TNG between 4 and 6 PM and now I'm watching only 1 episode between 4 and 5 PM cause the previous episode is now at 3 PM and I'm still working.

But Since I hardly sleep and if I had internet at home, chances are I would be able to chat with most people in here since I would most likely be awake and here when they are. Not that I don't have a life. Well, I don't really have a life per say. But let's just leave it at that.
