Hi moderators,

since Seti@Home is an international project please switch all time-stamps to UTC. For those of us who do not live in California (or any other place in the same time-zone) the present time stamps are extremely confusing and are the reason for many missunderstandings.

I thought it was all utc this is a test... Lets see....mmmm...

Does appear to be a dead giveaway, doesn't it?

what is this UTC you all are speaking of? Doesn't the whole world use Kansas time? They should! would make life for me easier... :p

FYI for anything that IS listed as berkeley time, they are UTC -8 but currently in daylight savings time so UTC -7 until October 31st. Need a calculator? :)

Kansas ! What's that ?
So if I understand right, when anything that is listed as
UTC, you need to ad 8 hours. Need a calculator ?

Did you folks ever stop to think that there might be two different UTCs?

The boards use UTC, but what time zone is this?
http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/stats/

This is what I meant with "confusing": using different time stamps in different areas of the home-page.

I think he means GMT should be uses?!



Greetings Basti

UTC and GMT are the same thing. UTC is just the new way of saying GMT.

This will solve your problem

http://allserv.ugent.be/~wheirman/wimsprograms/

get WorldClock
you'll also need Visual Basic 5.0 Runtime Library to make it work.

The current time at posting is
UTC 17:30:00 Sat 9
GMT 18:30:00 Sat 9
EST 13:30:00 Sat 9
Mars Coordinated Time 05:00:34 Sun 7
Stardate [-29]2853.64
No. people on earth 6,320.561,252

GMT and UTC are the same for about 50% of the year. While GMT is on daylight savings there is a hours difference.

I think?

Dunc

Sorry but GMT does not go onto that. We call it BST (British Summer time. Which is GMT+1. GMT stays GMT, that is the whole point of GMT.

How about, http://www.timeanddate.com/time/internettime.html , ITC it´s same to
everybody.

Can not down load any of the programs, I must be doing it all wrong lolololol....



My name is Pascal and this message has no meaning, but still has my approval...

It is 10 oclock, do you know what your WUWUs are doing tonight...

UTC, the Universal Time Coordinated is the currently most used world time. UTC is the time obligatory on aviation.

It was introduced 1926 as a successor of the Greenwich Mean time (GMT). There as UT, 1972 becomming UTC. But GMT is still used in several cases. So it is possible to handle it both as the same. UTC is based on seconds definded atomic clocks. GMT i.e. is used in RSS definitions.

I am sure there is no need for a internet time definde by swatch *lol*.

*edited* And I am sure there is no difference between UTC and GMT, no summer time for UTC or GMT. *rofl* The program seems to be wrong there.

The SETI@home Project use UTC since long time. It is described her: UTC Time conversion.

The timestamp on the files is probably US westcoast time. But if you are using the XML stats, you shouldn't be looking at the timestamps on the files but rather at the <update_time> tag inside of the tables.xml file. The value in there is a UNIX timestamp which is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 (in UTC).

Nope, just set up a personal world clock here: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ ;)
