I did not pay attention that this was 4:30-5:30 A.M. (GMT+1) :$

I also missed the chat.
Hope the chat log will be posted later.

Konstantin,

I was under impression that Eastern time was GMT - 5 (at least that is what
windows says).
Since I was under impression that during the summit in April you also
adjusted local time, then how come that 11:30 P.M + 5 is 3:30 A.M. GMT.

My time math is probably not good but I fail to see how to calculate time to
get time that MS quoted here. On all chats so far I was wrong about 1 hour.

Thanks,
Slobodan

Slobodan,

I've missed the chat for different reasons (hate to switch between projects but sometimes no time for XPe :-( ).

DST starts here (Pacific time) 2am 4 April 2004. So, the difference is PT=(GMT-7) now.

The same for ET (GMT-4 now). http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/pennsylvania/index.htm.

Do you confuse GMT with Western time zone? http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/europe/uk.

Konstantin,

My mistake thanks,

So since summer time is started since March I am now in GMT + 2 time zone.

Regards,
Slobodan

Slobodan,

GMT is always "standard" time -- i.e. British Summer Time = GMT +1
hour. The U.S. timezones are also on Daylight Savings Time = standard
time + 1 hour. If that's not confusing enough, the U.S. and Britain
change from standard time to summer time on different dates.

So, you are in good company being 1 hour off!

Cheers, Roy
