Last series I saw was the Murcians vs the Tombed Deprivians, after they first eradicated the Tylaxians from Planet Murc

for some of you, who might read Dutch as well, check http://www.omroep.nl/cgi-bin/tt/nos/.../h777/h318/777 for worldtimes.... check the GMT/UCT time !!!!!

[Snake-Eyes]

Uh.. Jorden, you sure about that? I could've sworn the last series was the Murcians vs the Deprived Tombians. BTW- There's at least one other confused (timewise) North American here (me). Actually, being in the military, I only need to remember the time of year and the difference between our time and GMT. That, or look at one of the many clocks that display both times strewn all around the offices in my unit.

I hope those clocks aren't MS-controlled
Are your clocks millenium-proof??

Sorry guys,
I wasn't awake when I posted that.

I've heard of sleep walking, do we now have sleep posting.

Sorry for MY confusion, folks.
My watch stopped, my electric service sucks (clocks are wrong and pc's are on ups's), and I like my screen SO BIG that I don't have the taskbar visible.
As for Java converting the time, it would probably crash doing the calculation.

[Zypher]

A 'top of the line' forum setup would have you specify your time zone when you register, and/or in your prefs. It would then do all the time conversions FOR YOU when it generates the page.

Not very hard to implement though, but ubb might not, or they have a lite version etc etc. Otherwise I like ultimate bulletin board a lot.

[Buuri]

What's the "BST" I see there now? Shouldn't it be Daylight Saving Time?
Or is it Baylight after all..

Here you go Ant, float this around somewhere.
You asked us not to post running applets, so I didn't. But you are free to use the code if you want.
It shows the local time.

British Summer Time we call it

[Scytale]

As if wishful thinking will keep the rain out

[Holerith]

setting it for GMT or UTC is great. Makes for easy conversion to local time

AST/ADT=UTC-4/UTC-5
EST/EDT=UTC-5/UTC-6
CST/CDT=UTC-6/UTC-7
MST/MDT=UTC-7/UTC-8
PST/PDT=UTC-8/UTC-9

etc...
