It is if you use UTC, as this project does. |

Doesn't it have something to do with the GMT? The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Doesn't it have something to do with the GMT? AFAIK it's the same thing. |

It's about 2.02am here in the UK for me. (GMT.) Unix time? = 1501635765 seconds since Jan 01 1970. (UTC) |

I think that GMT and UTC are same during winter, but UTC does not use daylight saving time. So for me it its UTC +3 in summer and UTC +2 in winter. |

Neither GMT nor UST have daylight saving - the only difference is the way in which the actual time is determined. In the UK we have "BST" in the summer months, which moves us to GMT/UST +1 which is a so called "daylight saving" exercise, but these days that is of little consequence and not a little annoyance.
