11:00am to 11:30am PST (Pacific Standard Time) California time (Aaron's time) GMT -12:00
2:00pm to 2:30pm EST (Eastern Standard Time)Montreal, NY Time (My time) GMT -8:00

and..

6:00pm to 7:00pm PST (Pacific Standard Time) California time (Aaron's time) GMT -12:00
9:00pm to 10:00pm EST (Eastern Standard Time)Montreal, NY Time (My time) GMT -8:00

I hope this helps clear the time zones thing.

Cheers!

Okay, so if I understand this right, I must login at:
- 24:00 to 24:30
or
- 7:00 to 7:30

I live here in London time +1.
Correct?

Erh, I don't have my table ready, but wouldn't EST be at around -6 and Pacific Time at -8 (possibly -9)? -12 would be at the other side of the globe, which would be New Zealand.

If I am right, it would make for about 8 pm/9 pm in Europe for the first time, and in the small hours of the night for the second time (4 or 5 in the morning). Did I get the maths right? *Curses time zones*

Ok, a nifty little chart to help people with their login times..

I hope this helps, Cheers!

You could always log into the channel today (or tomorrow, or some day before friday) and ask someone to tell you their timezone and local time. Most effective would be someone in the PST time zone, as that is where Aaron is located. There are a number of channel regulars in the PST time zone, including Tevlik, Puke, Will^, Narf, myself, and others. Daylight savings screws with timezone calculations pretty badly... Not every place in every time zone does Daylight savings, and most places start and end it at different times (different days of the year). Arizona, USA, for example, does not do daylight savings at all.

Of course, to be safe on Friday, log in an hour early.

You could post a countdown timer on your website giving the exact time till the chat starts. Many people are probably anxious enough to keep checking it.

Hmm... want to make such a timer? I don't know how to do it...

Edit: Ok, I think I found someone to make one...
