[Opensim-users] thoughts on timezones

[William George]

Don't overthink this time thing, its all a convention. Local code shows
local time; server code and databases should be in UTC

however this is probably wrong:

"You can see this by picking up an object in OpenSim.  Though the Linden
Labs
viewer may say 10:00AM PST when you pick it up, and your server may be set
to Central European Time 19:00, the item
properties acquired date will show 18:00 (which is the UTC time)."

The aquired time should in local time.....

This does breakdown for two hours for us fools in Daylight Saving Time.
Notice that PST is not supposed to have Daylight Savings, the time zone
would be PDT.
