Re: #SE4 Speaker #2 - D. E. Gervais Topic : Graphics and Graphic Tools Questions
It's usually more convienient if a region has it's own time, rather than being split down the middle; on land, timezones tend to follow political borders. In areas of the ocean (where there aren't islands to worry about, anyway) timzones are set by longitude.

Re: #SE4 Speaker #2 - D. E. Gervais Topic : Graphics and Graphic Tools Questions
Atrocities, that is why this thread was created, for those who would like to ask me questions but can't make it to the chat.
Also, I'm sure a transcript will be posted after the session, so everyone will be able to see what they missed.
Cheers! 
P.S. Tonight's the night. The target time is 8pm Atlantic time, (ie: Montreal/New York) 5pm Pacific, (ie: California/Vancouver) and 1am GMT (parts of europe.) The chat session is slated for approximately 1 hour, but you can bet I'll be there much longer. (I cleared up my schedule to give me the whole night free.) |

The problem is that if timezones were set strictly by latitude, you would end up with cities that were divided between timezones, so you would have half the city an hour ahead of the other half. That would be a nightmare. |

Yeah, it takes me an hour and a half to walk to school, but negative half an hour to get home.
