Chat viewing on Saturday

[luzula]

On Saturday 7 pm GMT, seascribe and I are going to meet up on Skype to watch either a couple of due South episodes, or the Steve McQueen movie Bullitt. We haven't quite decided yet. And I know the latter isn't C6D or anything, but I do consider it due South-related anyway, since Ray K canonically had a thing for Steve McQueen. : )

Do join us if you want! My Skype-id is luzulae.

Gah! Here's what I got when I looked up "how to calculate GMT for Chicago" :


Find the number of longitude lines between you and the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, England. Remember when you were in school learning geography, and looking at the maps with those lines running north and south, from pole to pole? Those are longitude lines and they are used in calculating coordinates for travel and also for calculating time, relative to the Prime Meridian. Count the number of north/south longitude lines between you and the Prime Meridian. Between the Prime Meridian in England, and Chicago, Illinois, there are six longitude, or meridian lines. Determine if you're east or west of the Prime Meridian.
Look at the world map again. If you're west of the Prime Meridian, your GMT will be ahead of, or minus, the time at the Prime Meridian. If you are east, your time will be after, or plus, GMT. Put the minus or plus sign in front of the number you found from the previous step and that's your GMT.

TYK...now I just need to know what city to compare against Chicago (the calculator at that URL asks between Chicago and what city I want to compare times).

I'm sure Fraser would do it the way that made me go Gah.

You can go with Stockholm!

I am a Mountie! I can do this!

And it turns out Desiree was right : 7 PM GMT is 1 PM near the lake they call Michigan.

Evening local time would have worked for me...I'm not sure yet about whether I can make it for the afternoon. Do you know yet if you'll be starting with dS eps or with Bullitt?

Evening your time is sadly in the middle of the night for me. But if you can't make it, I'm sure there will be more times! And no, we don't know yet.

Understood. I wasn't angling for a change, just making a statement. If it happens you start with dS eps I'll try to "jump in wherever". I got the Bullitt DVD from my local library, so I am primed to watch that if it's part of our viewing, but I'd try to work it out for being in on the beginning movie-wise.

Oops, sorry, Stockholm is GMT+1. But you got the Chicago time right, anyway--it's 1 pm.
