Let’s try this again. Video hangout, 15 June 2024, at 7PM EDT. Topics will include my difficulty remaining conscious and whatever you folks bring.

Yes, a Friday. I have long meetings on Saturday as we try to land BSDCan at the end of the month. I’m pondering trying some Tuesday night hangouts. We might get more people then, don’t know. Jerusalem (+0300) 2024-05-11 02:00 Berlin (+0200) 2024-05-11 01:00 Detroit (-0400) 2024-05-10 19:00 Chicago (-0500) 2024-05-10 18:00 Boise (-0600) 2024-05-10 […]
Yes, that’s two morning hangouts in a row. Sorry. One weekend in April is Penguicon. Two Saturdays have BSDCan meetings. This is the most tightly scheduled month since I began the whole Patronizer program. May will have an evening hangout, promise. Jerusalem (+0300) 2024-04-13 17:00 Berlin (+0200) 2024-04-13 16:00 Detroit (-0400) 2024-04-13 10:00 Chicago (-0500) […]
Note that Daylight Savings Time kicks in here on 10 March. Let’s see how wt copes with that: Jerusalem (+0200) 2024-03-16 16:00 Berlin (+0100) 2024-03-16 15:00 Detroit (-0400) 2024-03-16 10:00 Chicago (-0500) 2024-03-16 09:00 Boise (-0600) 2024-03-16 08:00 Los Angeles (-0700) 2024-03-16 07:00 (+0000) 2024-03-16 14:00 Thanks to EDT it’ll be extra early. I promise […]
A FreeBSD developer solved my time zone problem with a shell script. I think. Unix is lovely. Except when it isn’t. I’m listing all the time zones I know people attend from. If yours isn’t on the list, poke me and I’ll add it to the config file. (A config file! Unix is lovely! That’s […]
The zoom invite said 1AM, not 10AM. 10AM is correct. Y’all can meet at 1am if you like, but I won’t be there.
There will be rats. There usually are rats, at least. I really should call this tier “Meet the Rats.” When I host the video hangout I have a choice of venues. I could stagger up the stairs to my attic office. If it’s nice weather, I might go out onto the back porch. The Rats […]
And now we arrive at my least favorite time of the year: the switch between Daylight Savings Time to standard. It’s not merely that the switch is annoying and unhealthy. It’s that all of y’all are in different time zones with different rules. My efforts to schedule meetings in UTC failed because a) I cannot […]
I remembered to check the daylight savings time switchover. 5 November. We’re still in EDT, so 7PM EDT. That pathetic success tempts me to once again attempt to post the time in UTC, which I believe would be 11pm, but I know perfectly well that I’ll screw it up. This one is for the West […]
I give up on time zones. I just plain give up. The urge to provide the time in UTC or GMT or some normal, conventional Standard Time Unit reoccurred today, but all my efforts in that direction have spectacularly imploded. SPECTACULARLY. I have been working as a writer for nine years now, and time no […]
