Okay guys, on January 7, we turn 3 years old. I got this idea a while ago, but I missed our 2nd birthday, so I thought we could try this feather-brained idea in 2004. ;)

Here's the idea. On January 7, we try and break the online users record. Now, to try and get as many people as possible, we should try and co-ordinate our time zones and stuff. This is how we can get all our local times converted to GMT so we can compare and work out what works best.

[q]I am AEDST, which is GMT+11.

When GMT is 12PM, AEDST is 11PM.

I prefer to be online between 6PM and 1AM AEDST, which is between 7AM and 2PM GMT.[/q]

Include any time you can be online - I, for example, can only have my dial-up connected after office hours and into the early morning. If you can be on during the morning times as well, include both morning and night sessions, then convert to GMT.

I am GMT, which is GMT+0

When GMT is 12PM, GMT is 12PM. (... :rolleyes: )

I prefer to be online between 7PM and 3AM GMT, which is between 7PM and 3AM GMT.

However, this is flexible - and since I'm on DSL I don't actually have to be present at my computer for my name to be a part of the record. I can leave my PC on if I am elsewhere.


Groovy :devil:

Windows has a clock that should explain it - choose where you are on the drop down list (or the time zone that applies to you) and next to it it should say "GMT +X" where X is the time that is added on. So where it's 1AM GMT, and you are GMT+6, it is 7AM where you are at that time. See? :)

GMT+1, and i can be on from 17:00 on weekdays and from 10:00 on weekends, both untill 22:00.

please, use 24 hour time, it makes it easier to add GMT stuff, am/pm is confusing.

I know, but what times do you mind being online? Exactly the same? :)

I usually use 24hr, kasperl, but I know twice as many people who are confused by 24hr than by 12hr. By all means, add up your numbers in 24hr, then convert back to 12hr. :nod:

[q]GMT-2 (due to summer time).

When GMT is 12PM, right here it's 10PM.

I'm online from 9AM to 6PM then from 7PM to 1AM, which means from 7AM to 4PM then from 5PM to 23PM in GMT.[/q]

Which means that probably I'll be online anyway.
Probably away. Contact through email.
