 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey people, I think your clock is one hour slow. I think you're on GTM, because I posted something at 09:00, not 08:00 which is what your UI says. I'm fairly sure it's you not me, but let's see if this post time comes up correctly as 11:20, or incorrectly at 10:20.
Here's an image from this May anyway.

Yeah I just generally accept I'm an hour out half the year. The right time is only a manmade construct anyway......

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I'm not complaining. No big deal. I don't like "daylight saving" as a concept either. However...
I'd just pass fully qualified time from the server, then render it on the client.
That way it's always correct and consistent wherever the user has told their client that it is,
which is irrelevant to the server and the problem.
The system should never dick with any of that and if UK based ought to run GMT all the time.
In fact it probably does

Time is an artificial construct designed to enslave the masses and watch shoyte early evening TV ‘entertainment’.

I think you'll find it is precisely the number of seconds that have elapsed since the Unix epoch, excluding leap seconds. Depending on what you're using, of course.

Doesn't sH's work on ski time? ...which by coincidence is the same as GMT.

@adithorp,
From 1884 until 1972, GMT was the international standard of civil time. It has now been replaced by Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), although GMT is still the legal time in Britain in the winter, and is used by the Met Office, Royal Navy and BBC World Service. Greenwich Mean Time is also the name of the time zone used by some countries in Africa and Western Europe, including in Iceland all year round. I suspect SH's time is UTC...

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@Dr.Snow, yes but would it make any difference if Snowheads operated in UTC rather than GMT?
I thought that although there is a difference in precisely what they refer to, the actual time is the same.

You know it makes sense.
