If it's at 7pm CST, what time is it at EST? I can work out the UK time from EST but haven't a clue how many hours we are ahead of CST.
This is brilliant though!

Patrel Rushlock · 11-10-2004, 10:11 AM

Hmm, I might have to wake up a little early and go to work a bit late, lol. (I work overnight hence the strange hours)

I think it's 10pm EST, though it could be 9pm EST, I'm not sure.

CrazyChick · 11-10-2004, 10:15 AM

OK, I've just gone and looked it up- CST is 6 hours behind UK time. So the chat, for people in the UK is at 1am. Oh God- another late night, but well worth it. Thankfully it's Saturday the next day, and I can have a lie in.

Dominar of Action · 11-10-2004, 10:17 AM

Whee!!! Cross-posting to the CS forum

Hope others will cross-post to their LiveJournals, mailing lists, etc. as well :hint: :hint:

moonbebe · 11-10-2004, 10:29 AM

Whee (again) -- Do we need to d/l any special kind of chat program beforehand to be ready tomorrow?

JMax · 11-12-2004, 02:27 PM
