Server timezone dilema?

I don't quite know where are you going to set 'global timezone', but if you want to know my opinion, I would always store time-related information in UTC (not in GMT, there is slight but important difference between them) and convert it to local user timezone upon displaying. That's just safer method.

That's just safer method. BST have one inconvenient property – Daylight Saving Time.It changes so, there are dates that does not exist and dates which are here twice (I wrote few words about it on my blog).

If you want to convert timezones, there could be an ambiguity. So just stick to UTC and there should be no problems with conversions.

I assumed that this is programming-related questions (that's what Stack Overflow is for), if it is infrastructure related, I don't think it is right place to ask (and that makes any difference, actually). – Pawe? Dyda Oct 19 '10 at 13:19.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
