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.

Oooh! I'd love to join in. You can actually watch a movie on Skype? Could someone talk me through it?

And I wrote a really fun scene in an upcoming fic with Fraser and RayK playing chess, and Ray flashing on Faye Donohue, which would make him Steve McQueen. (Stop fondling your bishop, Fraser!) I think SM is not the best looking man in the world, but DAMN his eyes are blue! I can see why Ray likes him...

My "GMT brain" it is not working. Would somebody jump in here with the answer to "at 7 PM GMT what time will the Skype watch be in 'Chicago time' "?

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.

I wasn't able to be online for Skype this time, but I did do a Bullitt rewatch on my own last weekend in case there's any subsequent discussion about it....
