That's the day before, 24 hours behind.
If it is only times, not dates that get transposed then I'm happy, otherwise we're still not quite there.
Update:
To help those that want to check/fix this is it right now Wednesday 13 Feb - 9:30PM in Perth. The options right now in the timezone drop down list show UTC+0 at Feb 13 8:30AM, thus counting up to UTC+13 gets you to my correct time. I am also known as GMT+08.
My definitive stab-in-the-dark conclusion: UTC time on PerlMonks is 5 hours behind reality | [reply] |
Well, you are right. It's a bug in the underlying data.
grin
As I write this it is 13.09 GMT (UTC+5), which means it is 22.09 in Perth (UTC+13), same day. So the dropdownlist provides wrong choices, because UTC-11 to UTC-7 are not correct, as they belong to the same day as UTC+-0 and not the previous.
Why the heck does anyone in this world would chose not to use GMT+-x?
Have a nice day
All decision is left to your taste

Or did I just mix that up cause of our daylight saving stime?
no? | [reply] |
As far as I can see UTC times are correct in the list, it just doesn't go high enough, according to this site, UTC and GMT are the same thing, which I can't confirm, but seem to think is a bit wrong :) I'm assuming Perlmonks has the UTC+0 time correct
If you live further East of Perth then you are in even more trouble, the Eastern coast of Australia is up to 3 hours ahead of me, (perlmonks)UTC+16
this site shows UTC-5 (Atlanta) as the same time as UTC+0 on Perlmonks, and verifies my +13 number :) this means the UTC times on perlmonks are 5 hours behind, does it not?

GMT is UTC allowing for minor shifts in technology.
Right now, in Dublin, Ireland it's Sunday 17th Februrary UTC 21:32.
According to the User settings page it's UTC 16:32 here.
Something's wrong...
