Are we on Greenwich Mean Time by any chance? I think the server is in Oakland CA or is it in the cloud with its box located in Iceland? Maybe we're too close to a black hole.
And remember, objects in space define gravity, & gravity defines time. Here goes the test. At least it's beer thirty time now here for sure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |

Right on. It's PST. I was a little confused. Thanks in advance for allowing me to post a stupid one. Time for dinner.

- The server is not in Kalifornia
- The server is in Nevada - The server is not "in the cloud" - The server is a real machine - The server is not on Nevada time - The server is not on Kalifornia time - The server is on UTC time - The server knows what timezone you are in - The server adjusts the times you see displayed based on your timezone Time for dinner ...

Very interesting indeed. So how does the code know what time zone the poster is in? Is there a header that has the local time zone attached? What is UTC time?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) I'm glad the server is serving. Is it serving with sterling silver trays? There's a mansion up this way known as FILOLI. The kitchen has a big walk-in vault where thay would keep the silver. That's where your server is. I suppose it's temperature controlled to minimize the current draw. It would be nice to meet you someday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |

UTC = GMT Universal Time Coordinated Greenwich Mean Time QUOTE Although GMT and UTC share the same current time in practice, there is a basic difference between the two: - GMT is a time zone officially used in some European and African countries. The time can be displayed using both the 24-hour format (0 - 24) or the 12-hour format (1 - 12 am/pm). - UTC is not a time zone, but a time standard that is the basis for civil time and time zones worldwide. This means that no country or territory officially uses UTC as a local time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) |
