Glad I got to talk to you about figuring out a time!Skyweir wrote:Lets do it .. lets pick a time and date
(Go, us for... using Chatbane and the other chatroom to... work out a possible date for a group chat!)
So we figured out a time and date for next week... *rubs her hands together gleefully* Yes, yesss, we have got a plan...

They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.

Suspenders, I like it!
*imagines a variety of Watchers wearing a variety of pairs of suspenders, and me demanding that they hang on to this mode of dress, even when it (sometimes, surely!) is a fashion "don't"*
The time we came up with for a Watcher Chat is:
Tuesday, May 8th
12:30pm GMT
7:30am CT (US)
10:30pm AEST

Anyhoo .. once thats sorted .. Ill definitely be there.
I was thinking about chatbane .. we should run at least two. One at the time that works for some and one for a secco day time that works for others.
So this time is workable .. hopefully broadly and we know 0400hrs GMT works for some.
We could run a third time zone as well . Advertise and then hopefully we will enable broad participation

you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Mountain time! That's one hour earlier than me - I'm in Central.lucimay wrote:I'M IN MOUNTAIN TIME NOW!! what is that GMT?

So yer 12:30pm GMT would be:
6:30am MT Tuesday.
And 04:00 GMT would be:
10:00pm on the day before in Mountain Time.
(It looks to me like there COULD be a "MST/MDT" confusion during winter, but hey it's not winter right now. anywhere, even.)
I can verify that Av is sometimes around at that time - and I've hit him up for a chat, and he popped on to chatbane. (peter, as well.)
^ See, I heard me summons!Skyweir wrote:...Ok so Linnas the clever one here who works that all out ... look forward to chatbaning with your bad self
And I do it with much fear & trepidation... fear of making an error - putting forth some inaccurate pronouncement about times and dates.
...But I do it!
Oh, it's about the location of this thing called the Rocky Mountains - it's a mountain range in the U.S.; you wouldn't understand.Avatar wrote:I don't even know what "mountain time" is.

I figured.Avatar wrote:Yeah, I've heard of them.
Just hecklin'.GMT -7 when standard time is in effect, and GMT -6 when Daylight Savings time is in effect.So, Mountain Time is GMT -7
Looks like at this time of year, it's GMT -6!
(er, minus 6... not 6 factorial. that would be weird.)

Just for fun, -6! equals one month earlier. [a 30-day month, not Feb or those 31-ers].
That is pretty weird.
Maybe even weirder than:

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

That is pretty weird.
6! = 6 times 5 times 4 times 3 times 2 times 1
and 4! = 24, so 30 times 24 hours = 30 days.
My first instinct was to say you were wrong because I was thinking DAYS not HOURS.
"Units, Linna, units!"
I am facepalming my face in humiliation.
There is literally a funny story about a high school teacher introducing factorials that I try to share every time I teach a Saturday class for a semester... so clearly a good choice of target audience on your part.
Anyway, this thread was about Chatbane, so... hey - you used to participate in the Watcher chats awhile back, didn't ya, vraithster?
Would love to hear about how those worked out back then?
