Argh!!! it will be 3am when it will start for me.

Looks like I am not going this time... Or even ever will...

Ugh. Timezones. Well if you two happen to find that you're awake at 2-3 am in the morning, we'd be happy to have you guys join.

I've managed to stay up until 1 before, but caffeine has no effect on me (alien DNA, as my dad says) so it's rather difficult to not fall asleep on the keyboard after that.

Time to sleep all day for IRC day

can anyone point me to instructions on how to connect to the IRC?

 https://forums.kronosaur.com/viewforum.php?f=34 <— That’s a link to the IRC webclient that’s set up. It’s a good alternative for people who don’t visit frequently (or spend years on end logged on through an actual IRC client — guilty as charged).

Are we talking 14:00 PST? (UTC -8:00) or PDT (UTC -7:00)?
The link to the Timezone Information mentions PDT, while the OP mentiones PST?

Maybe make quote the time in UTC instead?

Let's do 9 PM GMT (2 PM PDT). These events usually last 2 hours, so Tokyo and Austrialia will be just getting up (on the following Monday) towards the end of the session.

OP had a typo, apparently.

GMT is a bit ambiguous as well (GMT can observe Daylight saving changes) but 2 PM PDT indicates that George means 21:00 hours UTC/GMT+0.

thanks,

PST And PDT are roughly equivalent. That site will automatically convert the time for you.

It's starting ~23 hours from the time of this post, running for three hours. Easy conversion for peeps.

They are in winter. In summer the difference is one hour, unless you live in Metlakatla, Alaska. So, if I used PST for calculating the time as shown on the clock on my wall, I would be roughly on time, but more precisely, I would have missed the first hour of the event : )

But, the issue has been solved by now anyhow.

Well, I created it by selecting local time, and then publishing it. So... If it doesn't work, I'm going to say its probably the site.

It is the site! it automatically changes the time zone (based upon the location I think) for time zones with daylight saving changes in effect.

Did anybody save a chatlog of this event?
