If I said it face to face, it wouldn't be but there's a screen between us. >.<

Oh, so you want you DL to do Gmt?

[petpet123]

That made no sense.

[Icy Lightling]

Never mind. So what are you guys talking about?

[Busy Seagull!]

About using GMT.



Basically, to use the converter, you need a base time. Let's say... 5:30 AM. Then choose the time zone that it is 5:30 in. Finally, choose the time zone you want to convert too. Click "Press here" and it'll show the time!



So...if you want to convert from 5:30 in EST to GMT, then you choose 5:30 AM --> GMT-4 --> GMT. It'll show your answer.

Conversely, to find GMT to EST, then you choose what time it will be in GMT (let's say 5:30 again) --> GMT --> GMT-4. It'll show your answer.

Watch for Daylight Savings Time, if applicable.

[petpet123]

Yup. Daylight savings can kinda throw ya off with converting.

[Busy Seagull!]

Haha, good thing it's not in effect right now!

[petpet123]

Not yet, anyways.

[Busy Seagull!]

Precisely. Yeah, I don't like DST very much. Why can't schedules just be worked around the seasons (or just get rid of DST now that we have electric lights)?

I don't know why, but I always found it easier to use West Coast time (PST, that is), because everybody has to subtract, and it's less confusing then someone adding 5 while someone subtracts 4.
