Time zone confusion

[solarisa]

Hi,

when 'I arrived yesterday, I noticed that the Dynamis was already running. And when I cheched the /lsmes today, I saw that the EU time zone is messed up since GMT is not part of the daylight savings schedule.

I live in GMT+2 (summer time, GMT+1 in winter), which is always 6 hours ahead of EST. I guess you mean the current UK time in the /lsmes? That would be British Standard Time, which equals GMT+1 during summmer and GMT during winter.

I normally used "UK" as a synonym in /lsmes' in my linkshell, since it makes things easier. Also saves a character.

Sohra has tried to use UTC for the time announcements, which would always be the same as it is not affected by daylight savings.

That was a horrible failure though. Everyone, even people from the UK kept getting the time wrong. So we decided to just use GMT (in a "wrong" way) because everyone does so... even SE sometimes ^^;

We're aware of the problem though and I'll talk to Sohra again about it. ^^
