So that's 3pm CST for the states? I'm sorry I'm still trying to learn the UTC system. I'm going to try my darnedest to be there!!

Yes, Roz, that is right, 3:00 p.m. Central.

You have already learnt ... at the same time as you learnt basic subtraction in elementary school. You see, UTC isn't something that you have to "calculate" each time. It never changes, it has no daylight savings or standard time. It IS the World time standard : Universal Time Coordinated. As it were, it is perhaps easier to think of our local time anywhere as the adjustment from UTC, not the contrary.

Thus, just look at the UTC clock in the top-centre of the TotJO site. Next, look at your local time (your watch, for instance). There would be a six-hour negative difference for someone in Illinois (or anywhere in the CST zone), five for the Eastern, seven for Mountain, and eight for Pacific. Here in Central Europe is one hour ahead. When daylight savings time begins again, it is the local time that changes - not UTC. It will stay the same all the time.

Does that help ? :)


EDIT : Time differences changed (to avoid further confusion) after Edan kindly indicated my error in the following post.

Sorry to correct you Alex, but I think the time difference in Illinois is actually 6 hours...

It won't let me have a blank signature ...

Actually, you were quite right to correct me, KA ... I must have been thinking about the difference between our local time and theirs ... You are right ; it is six.
