Title: What's the time?
Post by: edmundito on Sun 03/04/2005 10:08:56
Don't forget, Daylight savings is in effect for those who have that kind of thing going on...

My real question is, though, what is the time on the AGS forums? I live at GMT/UTC -6, but the forums is set to a time so that I have to set it to -7. I think that is very odd. Is this a bug?

I could have posted this on the Technical Forum, but I wasn't sure were it would be more appropriate.

I don't know, maybe it depends on the area? In my country, daylight saving time was a week ago.

Same in Estonia. Our real GMT is +2 but I have to set it +1 to see real time.

Arg, I had a gig from 9:30 PM - 12:30 AM. So I got home at 2:00 only to find it's 3:00.

Bleh!

Hmmm... The forum clock is one hour ahead of all other clocks around here... and daylight saving time ended a week ago here. Indeed, what's up? Is the server a bit... kaputt?

Arg yeah this is annoying, it happens every time. Basically, because America changes to DST one week after Europe, I have to change the server time twice to keep it all in sync. Anyway, it should be ok now.

yippeee! DST is over. Or has it started? After an entire season, the time is finally showing right! It was showing 1 hr ahead for a long time now. But that is probably because there is no Daylight savings time here...

Stupid DST. It is NOT fun to lose an hour of sleep during finals.

Damn you, Ben Franklin! I hate change over.

This turning the clock back and forth is rather useless if you ask me. Atleast it is when I have to turn the clock forward a hour, because then I'll get less sleep before I have to go to school ::). But when it gets time to turn the clock back I'll be more than happy to do it! :P

Personally, I wish they'd just leave it as summertime all year round, it seems so pointless losing that hour of evening daylight come October.

I think the world should just move it an hour forward every year, but not back again. that'd be interesting

Well. I don't know about "Pitch-black light", but you wouldn't be tierd, would you, seeing as you'd get used to the 1 hour per year increase. It'd be interestig.
