  • are you there yet?

    From Maurice Kinal@1:153/7001.2989 to Ward Dossche on Thu Nov 11 18:48:58 2021
    Hey Ward!

    Just curious if anything you have working there actually can, and possibly does, use the TZUTC kludge or is this another complete waste of time?

    By the way this is a different me then you've see before. It has both a TZ and a TZUTC kludge.

    Tell us what you *REALLY* think. :::evil grin:::

    Life is good,

    Hey Maurice!

    You are not alone. Keep up the excellent work and I am in full agreement that the TZUTC kludge requires full and complete annihilation. It has been corrupted beyond salvation.

    Life is good,
    Maurice

    Hey Maurice!

    @TZUTC: 0230
    @TZ: UTC-02:30:28

    Notice the powers that be took away the '+' character from legitimate time zones east of prime meridian and relaced it with a '-' character. It brought a smile to my face given that European sysops go out of their way to not only corrupt but in fact cripple the TZUTC kludge given that legitimate applications using utc offsets require either a '+' or a '-' character in order to do their proper job.

    Again east is east and west is best, or as we are fond of saying in these situations, strong like bull, smart like tractor. :-)

    Life is good,

    Maurice,

    Tell us what you *REALLY* think. :::evil grin:::

    I think I am going to take a shite and contemplate how that action is going to upset global warming theories...

    Hey Ward!

    contemplate how that action is going to upset global warming
    theories

    Whoa!

    Near as I can tell it doesn't.

    Speaking of time, this looks like a good time a break and pay homage to the porcelain gods. Besides I think I may have overfilled the void.

    Life is good,
    Maurice
