Can you add permatime.com to the twinsun link page
by Tim Diggins May 19, 2011

May 19, 2011

Hi there - I've been lurking on the list for a while. I don't contribute much as a I'm a (humbly grateful) user of tz information, rather than a provider. I mentioned our http://permatime.com site, a while back, but don't think I explicitly asked for it to go on the twinsun link page under "Web pages using recent versions of the tz database". Can it? http://permatime.com is a service for generating and viewing links that refer to a particular point in time and can be displayed in multiple timezones. It uses the ruby tzinfo gem, based on the Olson Tz database. kind regards Tim http://permatime.com http://teamportfolios.com/permatime Tim Diggins http://red56.co.uk http://tim.teamportfolios.com/

Seeking verification

May 13, 2011

Hi I was building, am building, a parser of your files. Basically had to since my time structures slightly different, and wanted accurate data, which I couldn't seem to obtain from the very early, or start up times of the stored files on my machine. There are other reasons but that is for another discussion if interested in alternate means around limitations of computer time.

Fwd: Improvement request: Concordia Station timezone
by Aurelien Jarno May 8, 2011

May 8, 2011

Hi, Please find below a mail from Paolo Perfetti, asking to create a new timezone for the Concordia station in Antartica. It seems there are already a few stations in the antartica file, so I guess it's possible to add a new entry. What information would be needed for that? He is Cc:ed to this mail, so don't hesitate to ask him more details directly.

Summer Time in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre
by Sascha Wildner May 2, 2011

May 2, 2011

Hi list, I just came across a sentence in the German Wikipedia (in the http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Via_Dolorosa article): "Dieser Kreuzweg wird von den Franziskanern in einer täglich Prozession ab 15:00 Uhr, während der Sommerzeit um 16:00 Uhr (da die Sommerzeit in der Grabeskirche nicht gilt), gebetet." It roughly translates as: "This Way of the Cross is being prayed by the Franciscans in a daily procession starting at 15:00, 16:00 during Summer Time (because Summer Time isn't observed in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre)." Does anyone have more information on this ("Summer Time isn't observed in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre"). Was it ever discussed here? Does it affect the tz database? Best regards, Sascha -- http://yoyodyne.ath.cx
