Personal announcement: blog switching to universal time
Dear friends,
With almost 20'000 readers literally spread all over the world, I have decided to follow a very good suggestion posted by 'anonymous' and switch this blog's timestamps to universal time aka Zulu time aka GMT. Sticking to the one I previously used (EST) is really inadequate and parochial. Also, since most of the world does not use the stupid AM/PM convention, I will be using the so-called "military time" in which 10AM is 10:00 and 10PM becomes 22:00. This is much more logical.
I hope you don't mind and take the time to adapt to this small change.
Kind regards,
The Saker
