The difference between my posting in London and the Forum time is minus 6 hours.

This covers Mexico and much of Central North America. Where is the Piriform Forum based ?

New York is only minus 5 hours against London. But if out DST of plus 1 hour is taken into account, then New York is only minus 4 hours. We are still stuck with a Forum time of minus 6 hours against London. Does`nt add up.

Servers are in Texas, I believe. USA has 4 time zones (EST, CST, MST, PST)

Servers fall into the CST zone, I think (I've read they're located in San Antonio). When I'm not logged in, the time shows as EST-1 on the forums, which seems to support this.

CST time zone is 6 hours behind U.K. time. ;)

Thanks Winapp.

New York makes no sense at all, but San Antonio Texas does. It is exactly 6 hours behind London. I think you have cracked it.
In my golden years of scientific brilliance, I was acknowledged by the Guinness Book of Records as the only person on Planet Earth who could count up to Infinity twice. But now I cannot even tell the time. I guess that is the way the cookie crumbles.

You should still be counting. :lol:

Kas have you tried re-booting your brain?

It works great!!

I did it last week and can now write backwards while counting up in multiples of 53 :)

(I believe the next CCleaner build will wipe time zones, but only GMT ones)

Nah, I finished the second count and have started on a third. Had a sudden memory dump the other day and I feel rejuvenated and at the peak of my performance..

What a great idea. I`ll try that, then start at Infinity and count backwards in multiples of 53, just like you. It should be much quicker than counting in single digits.

Is it possible to reboot your brain in safe mode?

There are a bunch of processes I would like to delete. :P

That had me thinking I'd like to upgrade my brain-RAM, but I'd have also buy all new hats to fit. :P

CST time zone is 6 hours behind U.K. time. ;)

I'm of the firm believe no one actually lives in CST or MST, which makes me question why my TV commercials mention the time in CST (7, 6 central!) :)

Maybe instead ST, which is Space Time.

HUMMM !

Lemme think this out. If I fly to New Zealand will I be 12 hours older in GMT terms ?

If I fly to Alaska, will I be 11 hours younger in GMT terms ?

if you straddle the international date line, you can have your birthday twice :)

And not a lot of people know that.

Sounds a bit hard on the crutch to me.
