How about we invent "DogzTime"

How about we invent DogzTime.

We all set a clock at home to the same time, no matter where you are in the world, lets say at a given time we set it to 12:00 mid day.

[Rattler]

It would work if you had one clock by your computer showing this time, or your own comuter's time (but that would cause so many other problems.....forget it!)

I'll put a little alarm clock by my computer set to GMT, and see if it helps. When do you guys do to Daylight Savings, anyway? End of the month? This weekend then?

Rattler, Our clocks go forward tonight.

Ref the dogztime clock. i thought along those lines, a little clock beside our computers would work fine.

[Rattler]

I'll have to get one of these then...

that would help some of the dogz, we could say we fly when the little hand is on the left ear and the big hand is on his tongue

I just noticed that there's a bunch of clocks on the main page under Comms. Except they're an hour behind for me.

It'd be nice if there was a countdown clock on the main page that showed how long until the next scheduled Co-op or SEOW. Something along the lines of "X days, Y hours, Z minutes left until..." and maybe below that a list of what the scheduled time is in each time zone. All of this including the current times that are already in the Comms section.

What I'd really like to see is some kind of messenger/organizational program akin to Xfire or Steam friends with programmable group alerts, upcoming flight time warnings, group calenders, etc.

We could use UTC / Zulu time?

as used by NATO and the whole of civil aviation.

or we could invent our own dog time at GMT+3 just to confuse everyone

Hello, what time BST is it tonight? I should be able to join in

[Blairgowrie]

7:30pm BST or 2:30pm EDT

[Friar]

7:30pm BST or 2:30pm EDT

my point exactly...

It could be 16:00 dogztime (for example)

I like this idea- if it's counting down to a set time, we can all work out how that relates to our local time.

Did any one make a ruling for "dog time"

Or do we follow friars advice and Buy a bunch of clocks set to east coast/west coast/etc?

Actually that might look cool if I can get 4 or 5 small clocks and mount then to a board

[Friar]

No, it never came to anthing I'm afraid.

Shame, however we could discuss it over a beer and do it anyway

8:30 Red Lion outside Duxfurd.

Me and GMan will buy BG a beer and get him to decide

[Friar]

Sadly BG wont be there this year, JP might, we can get him tozzled on warm bitter instead..

~S~ nice thread

How do we get around the fact that 1 year = 7 dog years?

Vista users could always add a second clock to that sidebar thingy that's set to dog time?
