I've noticed that the time displayed on the forum is the DST, while fine on the AGN, but why on the QGL forum?

or does trog todo list mearly have it listed as "wait till QLD folds and joins the pointless clock changing"

my two cents is, we have enough day light, why save it?


(there is a point between the equator and the pole that daylight savings makes no sense, like the NT, or FNQ for example)

The reason we don't have daylight savings is because people can't get their kids to sleep because it's too hot.

Parts of that video are stupid. Like the part where they compare Sydney to Europe and the USA. Of course there's going to be a difference.

Were you paying attention? Its not the differences per se, its the scheduling headache because the differences change so much over that 3 week period.

In a perfect world you could. But people can't get their kids to sleep so you miss out sorry. Looks like every one misses out because people can't get their kids to sleep because it's too hot.

doesn't china just have the one time zone to cover the whole place (I could be wildly wrong on that) so why bother changing the clocks?

if you want to mow after dinner, wake up at 2am, (nice and cool) have breaky, lunch at 9 am, dinner 3pm, mow at 4pm, beer at 5, sleep at 6

China does have one time zone.. a Qantas captain was telling me all about it on one of my flights to Europe when he came out of the cock pit to stretch his legs.

Go to northern Europe and experience the awesomeness of longer daylight.

The servers are in Sydney so they all run on Sydney time - this has been the case for a very long time. No plans to change it, although the timestamps should have a timezone specified I guess.
