Title: An idea for the chatroom....
Post by: ispamforfood on March 27, 2010, 09:27:04 PM
We should have a sort of official "gathering time" on a certain day, so we can sorta swarm, and you know, actually have more than one or two people to talk with at a time, if even that...... In fact, I actually think it'd be a good idea to create an IRC chatroom, since this chat room here is kinda laggy.... No offense, it's just the nature of it's design.  I do have my own room on a server, named #dudeism (not created for this site per se, I just needed a name lol..... Anyone else think an official "Chat night" would be good?

Ah world time differences.

23:00 hrs PST/PDT

equals

Time zone offset: UTC - 8 hours

we're on BST at the moment that means -7 hours

so

16:00 BST.

I think?

For those of you not good at the math, Brandt will fill you in on the details.

But get back to us when you're done

This is a waste of time. But that's why I visit this bowling alley and maybe thats why I find it so durn inneresting.
I didn't know if I was supposed to hang out at 22:00, or some sorta PST/PDT, or if we all synchronize our watches. So when its time, I will know. not on shammos, and not dressed like this on a weekday.

Can we perhaps do the time by Internet time?

http://www.timeanddate.com/time/internettime.html (http://www.timeanddate.com/time/internettime.html)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_time)

This converter is very good:

http://www.csgnetwork.com/csgbmtcvt.html (http://www.csgnetwork.com/csgbmtcvt.html)

This comparison really helps:

http://www.csgnetwork.com/timecalc.html (http://www.csgnetwork.com/timecalc.html)

which if I have it right means:

2300 hrs in BC

is @333 Internet time

which is 06:59:31 to 07:00:57 BST.

So on that basis I'm usually on here (today for example) from between @541 to @604.

I am posting this @575

Or as a friend here has just suggested set a "Dudeist Standard Time" (as they do with Eve Online) that the website and everyone converts to.

That was purely coincidental.

So drop in at 22:00 Swiss time, or PST/PDT, or were you using UK/Zulu time nomenclature? I am confused.  What movie is this?
