Depends on what you mean by 1600 ;)

Here, most of us are WET time (Western European) if I am rigth (GMT + 1) ... but some of our US friends must be GMT +6 to GMT + 9 ...

So, the best way is to spek either in UMT, GMT, Eastern Time, Western time, or Central time ... Damn tough to get it right ...

US & Canada
=========
PST (Pacific Standard Time; ex. California, British Columbia) = GMT - 8
MST (Mountain Standard Time; ex. Colorado, Alberta ) = GMT - 7
CST (Central St. Time; ex. Kansas??, Saskatchewan) = GMT - 6
EST (Easter St. Time; ex. New York, Quebec) = GMT - 5

Let's say we meet at 4pm - 8pm (as proposed). In referece to what time? Let's say EST.


UK (Great Britain)
============
GMT (Greenwich Mean Time; ex. UK) = GMT

Then it would still be 9pm - 1am here.


Western Europe (France, Germany, Spain, Italy...etc, etc....oh NOT Belgium...hehe, just kidding)
=======================================================
CET (Central European Time) = GMT + 1

Then it would still be 10pm - 2am here.



Actually I jsut realised that if it's on the weekend, it might actually be possible ;-)

What is the config to connect ?

I mean I have the server set to irc.entethegame.com, port to 6667 and group to #podheadz, but I always get the connection refused message ...

Well maybe the derf pseudo is already taken ... but the error message is not so clear then ...

**dizzy, as I'm reading all of this**

10 minutes later= **Dizziness has faded away**

:( Now I have to set all my clocks to those times...

I should have known that this was not going to be easy.

When I used to chat with some French Poddies on ICQ, 1600hrs was always understood as 10pm your local time.

:roll: I thought I was addressing to the French Poddies...My mistake I guess.

I POnDer ....Is this a French forum?...Frenchglish?....or .........

just a silly dream?

Just in case I'm not dreaming, ......USA Eastern time

I'm not sure to understand what you mean by that, but :
- at the beginning ,it was a french forum
- since the only european players are french or german (or french living in germany ;)), the forum tends to become a franco-deutsch forum.
- in the end, it doesn't matter because speaking of time, gemany and france are the same ...
- I don't understand at all 1600hrs or 2000hrs ... :-) for me it it juste a huge amount of time ... 16h00 and 20h00 ?

Voila.

Hehe, Dfg, you see usually North Americans always say 4pm or 10am or 9pm, but once in a while they do it like the US Army and say 1600 hrs (spoken: sixteen hundred hours) or 1000 hrs or 2100 hrs ;-) Just remove the '00' at the end and you'll have your European way of saying it, hehe.

Well Top Gun is the Air Force (or Fligh section of the Navy) and you don't hear it in those movies that often ;-) But movies about Marines have it all the time. You'll usually here them referring to a time in the morning. So that 8am - 8h00 turns into 0800 "Oh 800 hours" (pronounce 'Oh' like the letter 'O') hehe

:ké boulet: I am still waiting for a response from anyone that wants to play POD.

:tain c'est d'la bonne: I know the hours are not good for all of you, but I can play a little earlier on sundays: 12h00 EST

Anyone still interested, can e-mail me or post.

If I don't find anyone to play with, I guess I'll just keep on POnDering again... :roll:

:jedi: May POD be with you..

Sure, I'd love to. But probably not within the next few days. I'm currently moving (University), so I won't have much time. I'll let you know when can ;-)

Same here ...

Message par grokon »

Anyway, I still have problem, and I think I first should completely re-install my Win98 PC ... I cannot connect to the internet anymore ... and it seems like re-installing the ADSL modem does not fix the problem :(

I should do it as soon as possible since I haven't tried new POD tracks because of this (and lack of time ... of course 8) )

Race on IO

Message par Freddy »

Stardate: September 22, 2004

Captain's Log: There are rumors that a "Portal" where Poddies can transport themselves to some tracks on planet IO, could be open for a limited time. Need some daring racers who are willing to take their favorite cars for a spin and hopefully re-live some POD memories of the past.

Time: 18:00 hrs. USA EST

Method: IP Portal (must know access code)

Access Code: 68.194.114.162 (Bandie for logistic reasons needs this code) ;)
