As in if say it says that a comment was written at 7:35pm, are we talking EST? CST? GMT? UTC+08:50?

Just a wild guess but since Gawker media is based in NYC I'm thinking default time is EST.

Uh Oh... We might all be time travellers then.... Perhaps you responded to this before I even wrote it?

I replied tomorrow.

Pretty sure it's EST.

A lot of data centers are moving to GMT due to the fact a lot of big internet based companies havedata centers across the country and it makes managing them much easier.
Source: I work for one of those companies.

Good point, thanks mate. It's rather nice to know if someone responded to something I wrote 8 hours ago or if it was just 2 hours ago.

But I bet Jezebel forced Gawker to give them their own time zone

Two votes on EST now, I'd say that makes it official.

Eastern time zone. At least, that's what the timed posts use. Which is probably why, at least for a time, newer posts say, "9 minutes ago." That way, it doesn't matter where you live.

PMT? (Period Mean Time, usually correct about once a month.. and if it's late you'd better run?)

That sounds like a better answer than mine. :)

Well, it's not GMT. That doesn't correspond with when I write most of my posts (I live in Norway. CET (GMT+1))
![]() 12/03/2013 at 21:23 |

I'm in CST, and it's always an hour ahead of me.

Ahh... yeah the server probably runs on GMT, but that's hardly relevant for us users is it :P

Don't worry. We probably do, and they've probably been here for a long time. Nothing has happened so far so we should be ok, at least I hope so...

It's the chin, isn't it?
You watch Arrow?

WTF? Suddenly you go all half Icelandic on me? Must be some sort of reference I don't quite understand. And I usually call them Alver (Álfar) :P
![]() 12/03/2013 at 21:41 |
|
I'm not sure what it is.. perhaps the chin yes... I've never watched Arrow, but I've seen it's on the US version of netflix (which I've haxxored my way into even though I live up in the cold North) though... Is he in it?
![]() 12/03/2013 at 21:42 |

I think I'll survive. I've made a few comments over there, comments that have been recommended as well.. so.

Ahh.. spooked me a bit there. It's not a secret that I'm a Norwegian.. But it still freaks me out when people suddenly uses Sandinavian/nordic words :)

Well, see you later Oppo.. Arrow it is.
If only people would stop commenting and stuff on this simple question about time zones..
35-40 comments and a metric ton of stars must be a new record for me :P

I just went over there and clicked on a post with Paul Walker in the headline
I was relieved to see they are good people. The post had other topics too. Only one commenter mentioned Paul Walker, and her comment was thoughtful.

My family is originally from Sweden so always had an interest in Nordic type stuff.

Ahh.. Då förstår jag, du måste överbringa mina hälsningar till din familj och önska dom en riktigt god jul då.
(If you can't read swedish you'll just use google translate yeah?) :)

Ek moes gebruik van Google vertaal egter om uit Suid-Afrika ek praat ander tale. Geseënde Kersfees vir jou en jou gesin ook.

Do you live in South Africa? I don't speak Afrikaans, but I have friends from Belgium and Holland, so I think I understood most of that.. :)

Live in the US now, however I go back when ever I have time/money it.
![]() 12/03/2013 at 22:22 |

I see. But, I need to now if I understood what you wrote... you said "I had to use Google translate, however/but outside South Africa I speak other languages (Something iffy about my translation there I think). Merry christmas to you and your family too." or something similar?
![]() 12/03/2013 at 22:24 |

Close enough, I said
"I had to use google translate however being from South Africa I speak other languages. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well."
![]() 12/03/2013 at 22:31 |
|
Ahh. Yeah, I'd say I was close enough ;) But if you speak Afrikaans and English it should be rather easy for you to learn swedish. The only reason I understand Afrikaans and Flemish/Dutch is because I speak Norwegian and English (and can read German). Anywho, I've ramled on long enough. Nice talking to you. Have a nice day :)
