Time meridians
Just wondered what's your Greenwich Time.
I'm Greenwich +2.00 Central European Time (Daylight/Summer Time)

-6 or -5 or some shit.
I know that the board time I've got set is an hour off from my computer time,
since the last timechange to daylight savings time or off daylight savings time
or whatever the fuck it was - which means it'll be correct in a couple months,
right ? So, like, why bother, amirite ?
I really don't give a damn, it ain't like I'm trading stocks on the Japanese market.

I don't believe in Time. (Unfortunately, my boss does though. )

Re: Time meridians
What's with the anti-British comment regarding GMT - it was U.S President Arthur that called for the Conference that set up Greenwich as the Prime Meridian in the first place. If I remember rightly the vote was passed 25 to 1 with the bloody French abstaining - typical.
Freakzilla - "Apparently we can only aspire to be the 13th biggest Dune fan since we are not family or in the HLP."

Pacific, fools.
No other time zone matters; as far as I'm concerned, that observatory in Greenwich should have been put in downtown L.A.
