I use Google as my home page and one of their gadgets is an International clock, you can display any time anywhere in the world.

Half-past Spring here.

Thanks guys. Knew I could find it online but thought it would be more fun to ask. Apparently we have our dates bass ackwards here, as it was 11/4/08 when I posted, now 11/5/08. But it's 05/11/08 there. Thought for a moment there that we were 6 months ahead, but more likely about 19 hours behind. Thanks for playing along.

Bed time!

More like 17, I think, Richard.

In your UserCP, you can adjust your local time to GMT - 7 hours. Then your posts will display the WWF time. The offset may drift 1 or 2 hours each way, because of Daylight Saving in opposite cycles. Here's one way to handle it: http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ad.php?t=77798 (5th pic) - unless it's more fun to play.

Thats something that we always wonder about ,
why you guys go ...

Month Day Year

when the natural order of things is

Day Month Year

you blokes is weird in the New World UpOver

Granted, Month-Day-Year is inside/out, Day-Month-Year is only slightly better. Year-Month-Day, all digital, provides automatic sort chronologically, without need for separate fields in file records. Many news organisations use this format, usually without hyphens or slashes, in their web sites. I've been using it for sub-folders in my Picture folder for a few years, and it works a treat. Try it; you'll like it.

Joe, your system seems logical to me.

Jock, maybe we are on the wrong side of the equator.

We have just switched to daylight saving time, but it isn't working for me. Starting to drink beer an hour earlier and staying up an hour later is screwing up my mornings. Just kidding. I would never do that.

I changed to the year / month / day system shortly into the second year of my photo filing.

Joe is right in how much better the system works.

Rum o'clock

or

Beer o'clock if you prefer

or

if you are retired, like me,

then, day-time or night-time, it's always the right time

[joe greiner]

always the right time

And every day is Saturday.
