Are you the same time zone as Athens & Cairo? That time zone would be 6:00 PM August 1st - a Sunday. :)

I'll be teaching Bible class about that time.

I will try to make the next. :)

Sorry Shades, really wish you could make it, but I understand responsibilities. And I for one would not like to be, even partially, responsible for getting you in trouble with the big guy. :)

We're going to try and have the Chat's the first Sunday of every month. The times may vary depending on guests/circumstances.

Dennis,

I'm not sure what your time is (but I'm pretty sure you're NOT on the same time as Athens and Cairo). The chat will be at 4.00 pm UK time (= 3.00 pm GMT). My time now as I post this is about 11:25 pm. If you compare that to whatever (local) time the post shows as you should be able to work it out. My GUESS is that you're an hour ahead of the UK so the chat will be at 5.00 pm for you.

Question

I figured it up and I just want to make sure I figured it up right. My time zone is Central Standard Time in the USA and it starts for me @ 9AM right?

And I plan on being there but if its like the last one I will probably forget about it till a week after it is already happened. LOL. And for everyone that don't think I care, I have a loss of my short term memory is why I hope I won't forget. And if I don't forget, I'll bring some virtuals cookies for every1. :vv

Hey Dax,

I'll email ya the day before. :)

As for the time, it's at 8:00 am Pacific Standard Time. If I'm not mistaken you're 2 hours ahead of us, so it'd be 10:00 am Central. And it's 11:00 am Eastern Standard Time. Remember, we're in daylight savings time, so I'm only GMT -7 right now.

07-26-2004, 12:33 PM
Zack Barresse

EST = GMT - 4; CST = GMT - 5; PST = GMT - 7.

After daylight savings you will be - 6.

Hello everyone, :006:

The chat went well. George answered a lot of questions.

Congratulations to Cosmos75, he won an autographed copy of 'Grover Park George on Access'!

lol,

All that boxing at the weekend tired me out and I forgot about this one too. Having to stay up until four/five in the morning damn near wrecked the rest of the weekend.

Any transcripts? Is there plans to keep transcripts of the chats?

Hi Brendazona,

We were going to give away another book, but the low amount of attendees dictated that we should wait until another chat to give it away. Especially since we don't want to give away prizes to staff members ( :bawl ).

Thanks for the pic Cosmos!! Looks very cool! (I love the spider-man montage. :D And is that Alanis I spot?! Very nice choice! :yes )
