th1aDoes anyone have a problem with having the channel logged for the website?18:14
mgedminI don't18:14
mgedminin fact I'm very happy that you set up a logbot18:14
---mgedmin has changed the topic to: www.schooltool.org || IRC logs at http://stone.tuttlesvc.org:880/logbot/18:15
th1aCool. If we're happy with how it works perhaps we can move it to a more reliable server.18:15
th1aMine is just behind home DSL -- dynamic IP with port 80 blocked.18:16
mgedminWhy does it say "Timestamps are in GMT/BST"?  I thought BST differs from GMT by 1 hour during summer.18:17
mgedmindate18:17
mgedminFri Jul 16 16:17:32 BST 200418:17
mgedminTZ=UTC date18:17
mgedminFri Jul 16 15:17:37 UTC 200418:17
th1aWhat is BST? Baltic Standard Time? British?18:19
th1aI may need to adjust that manually.18:19
mgedminBritish18:19
th1aIn the template.18:19
th1aHm. I'll check what's up. It appears to be my local time.18:20
th1aI mean, the timestamps match my local time.18:20
mgedminright, I hadn't noticed that18:22
th1aYeah, that's just hardcoded into the template. Fixed.18:26
th1aI felt like yesterday's chat went well enough that we should try to do some more "special guest chats."18:30
th1aI asked Oren Sreebny, who works at the University of Washington, where they seem to have lots of different calendaring stuff going on.18:31
th1aHe's also on an advisory board for Chandler, the open source PIM project that Mitch Kapor started.18:32
th1aI know him from his weblog at http://staff.washington.edu/oren/weblog/18:32
th1aI was thinking of trying to do it next Thursday or the following Monday, same time as yesterday (he's also on the west coast, too).18:33
th1aAny preferences as to day?18:33
mgedminThursday18:33
mgedminAlbert is now on vacation, he comes back next Wednesday18:33
mgedminI think it would be useful if he could participate as well18:33
th1aOK.18:34
th1aI'll see if that works for Oren.18:34
th1aBy the way, in Europe you don't really refer to AM/PM very much, right? It is standard to say, for example, 19:00.18:43
mgedminhonestly I don't know ;)18:45
mgedminin Lithuania we usually say "seven o'clock" or "seven in the evening"18:46
mgedmin(when it is ambiguous)18:46
mgedminbut "nineteen hours" is also universally understood18:46
mgedminwhen writing down dates as numbers I always use 24-hour notation18:47
mgedminbesides, that's what ISO 8601 recommends <wink>18:47
mgedminit just so happens that ISO 8601 matches the traditional Lithuanian order of year/month/day18:48
mgedminonly the separator character is different YYYY-MM-DD instead of YYYY.MM.DD or YYYY MM DD18:48
th1aOK. Just wondering.18:48
th1aI don't want to be too much of an ugly American here.18:49
mgedminI can parse AM/PM times without problems18:51
mgedminbut when you add three different timezones to the mix, then just 07:00 becomes a bit confusing ;)18:52
th1aI'm sure you can :)18:52
mgedminexpecially when there's no chance that I can be up and alive on IRC that early in the morning ;)18:52
th1aYes. I understand.18:55
