I'd just like to mention that for my google summer of code project,
Ruby Reports, I am trying to make the development process as open as
possible.
I had a wacky idea which I hope some of you will enjoy:
I will be holding a roundtable discussion about Ruport this
sunday(2006.07.08) from 19:30 -> 20:30 EST on the Freenode channel #ruport
This will hopefully be a good chance to talk about the progress thus
far this summer, as well as the goals for the coming months.
It'll also be a great opportunity for people to ask any questions they
might have about the software, or to throw around any ideas they might
have for how to make Ruport better.
It's also a chance for folks to meet Ruport's newest developer, Dudley
Flanders, who has been incredibly helpful in recent weeks.
So, anyone who is interested in the library itself or just wants to
stop by to lurk and scope out the scene, please join us!
I'll post a transcript of the discussion online after it is completed,
for those who cannot make it.
Is that 2006-07-09 UTC 00:30? I'm asking because I'd have expected
your time to be given in EDT because as far as I can see you're in
daylight savings now. A useful link for others as well:
Kind regards

Oh, blast. I hate time zones / daylight savings!
I am GMT -5
Next week's Ruby Quiz: find out what time it is where Greg lives. (This is an expert-level problem.)

Or -4 due to daylight savings. Man this gets confusing
I'll post times in UTC for online meetings in the future... sorry folks
I hope you're not joking. I could use a script that smart.

problem is, I am someone who abhors clocks (JEG2 knows this, via my
complaints of the over abundance of them in his home), so I have hard
time... telling time.
I've accidentally miscalculated the easiest possible conversion many
times so far this summer, eastern to pacific. Sorry to my SoC mentor
for that!

The worldclock link I posted earlier is an excellent site for handling
that. For example, I put my collection of cities in a URL and have a
FF keyword on it - so I just need to type "clock" in the address bar
and get an overview page with all city times I'm interested in.
Sample:

And for a slightly more confusing and less accurate solution, there's my
tiny (240x40) clock at the bottom-left-hand corner of this page: http://dave.burt.id.au/time/
Actually, I find it a handy visualization of the time around the world.
The satellite view of the world and the time zone marks at the top
remain stationary while the hour marks at the bottom and the attached
noon and midnight icons and dates shift left a pixel every six minutes
(or thereabouts).
I've marked the PST, EST, UTC and AEST (Australian Eastern, when I am)
time zones. You can tell the time by hovering over the abbreviations for
the tooltips, or by reading the adjacent lines down to the time markers
on the bottom. Of course, don't forget to add an hour for daylight
saving (in the northern hemisphere at the moment)!
