Well, the FAQ says there's no such thing as a commonly agreed-upon timescale.
I just had some problems -
Here in Germany, it's 12.
Over in Seattle it's 3 AM.
In Tokyo, it's 8 PM.

Well, I'll use Tokyo time for all messages coming from Cat. I hope this won't
screw up with the LOG for chronological purposes.

(Tokyo is +8 from CET, +17 from US Westcoast time.)

My last post, with the subject "Loose ends", was supposed to have the time
date stamp changed to note that it was in Japanese time. Just thought I'd
mention that in case of the remote possibility that anyone cares.

Mountain Daylight time (only Arizona does not change for Daylight savings)

A.K.A. GMT -7 (compensating for Daylight Savings Time)

A.K.A. An hour ahead of Seattle

A.K.A. Five hours ahead and an day behind you.

That enough?
