The 2008 Winter Scripting Games
Time Zone Information
Comparing Local Time and Redmond Time
For the 2008 Winter Scripting Games, all event deadlines are listed similar to this:
Monday, February 18, 2008, 8:00 AM PST |
That’s pretty useful information … as long as you live in the Pacific Standard Time (PST) time zone. If you don’t live in that time zone, however, you’ll have to mentally calculate what 8:00 AM Pacific Time equates to in your time zone.
Well, in the previous two Scripting Games you had to mentally calculate that difference. For the 2008 Games you can simply consult the table below to convert Redmond time to local time. Alternatively, take a look at this Hey, Scripting Guy! column, which shows you a way to programmatically compare local time and Redmond time.
