Time Zone - which one should I use?

Post by hesnotthemessiah »

I live in sunny England. What Time Zone should I have my PC's clock set to? :o

I am sure I will get a quicker response here than from my email service provider. My Internet Explorer's email received column's time was fast by 8 hours at the start of the week (ie. emails recieved at 04.30 showed up as received at 12.30) but, now that they have "fixed it" it , all the mails I receive are now showing their time received as approx two hours later than it should do (ie. emails recieved at 04.30 show up as received at 06.30). :roll:

My time zone is set to GMT (+00.00) with "automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" on. Is this correct?

I thankyou. :)

yes, that must do it :-)

Greenwich time it is where you are living, it couldn't be better, isn't it ?
We all live in your time :-D
Summer/wintertime is indeed followed automaticly, I once stared concentrated on the computer clock of my mac, to see what happened.
It got 03.00, and then, after a half second or so, it got 02.00.
Like on those old railway station clocks, at every hour it looked like one second got added to the timeline :-D

Cheers Hubird :)

I use a company called Lionrampant as my email/webmail service provider. I will get back to them and see what they say now I know I have, at least, got my time zone set right!

Extensive tests shows, that Scope sounds a little bit better when the time zone is set to -4. No official explanation has been given by Creamware, but rumours has it, that some former Creamware programmer/coder made selected modules work at twice the sample rate. This also could explain, why the DSP load is slightly higher, when the time zone is set to -4. This particular time zone was probably chosen, because Africa was never intended as a main market, and therefor it was not expected that noone ever found out. Ofcoarse this is all rumours, but try it out for yourselves. :wink:

I am sorry, that I didn't bring this tip earlyer. It is not a big difference, but everything counts. Actually, I have known about this for 41 days now. I probably should have told the rest of you rigth away on the day I found out about it. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience. :)
