Hi there!

It may be that I didn’t get it right but I’d like to use the “relative day” feature you implemented in 2.6.17. It’s just that I don’t find any mention about the code in the custom format window I need to use for that one …

Thanks, for that neat piece of software and your help :)

Great post! I knew about Newfoundland and actually used to live ‘on the half-hour’ in South Australia but had no idea there were so many other odd time zones.

This blog’s concept is right up my alley. Found it from the release notes of FoxClocks 2.4.97 today. But is it true it hasn’t been updated in more than a year now? Just want to make sure I’m looking at the right blog.

With old Fidel about history I guess we have to have at least one enemy in this hemisphere! I knew about the unusual time zones in eastern Canada, but I wasn\’t aware that there were so many others around the world. My wife jokes about the phrase \

It would have been helpful to remember the readership that Caracas stands more or less at the middle between GMT-4 and GMT-5 timezones, and hence that Venezuela did have GMT-4Â½ as legal time until 1965. It is also interesting to note that several Venezuela neighbours observed different timezones, and other are quite unstable in this respect.
So really the move is to come back to what was the previous standpoint, and is more adjusted to the Sun.

Of course, what you and the BBC said about President ChÃ¡vez is also correct!
