wait. Its just dawned on me... she was talking about goign to cambridge wasn't she so I dare say that... Yes... it's all adding up now....
I'm just confused now about why the post was dated 5:30 but appeared at nearer 1:30... And I can think of technical ways of doing this (ie changing the time) I am just wondering why... :)
Indeed, she was indeed here at a party, and we wandered up to bed around 1:30. I've no idea why the time on the posting would be wrong, but I've noticed it with other LJ entries in the past and tend to ignore it.
ah, I think you misunderstand me then. The time the post appeared was 1:30 *PM*. The time on it was 5:30 AM. Thinking about it that kind of makes sense for if it was posting under PST (I think 05:30 there is 13:30 here) which is I believe the default timezone for Live Journal... SO if lucy postponed her post... Oh i don't know. And I don't care as much as this is implying. :)
>geek mode< I could think of a possible reason. Maybe the difference is whether you're using the client or the web interface. When you use the client, your system time will appear and when you use the web, the system time of the server will appear (which is somewhere in the US, accounting for the 8 hours difference). >/geek mode<
<geek mode> Possibly. Normally it uses javascript to populate the fields with your default system time but it is possible that if javascript is disabled that it will then use the PST options. In fact I am fairly sure that will be the answer.
Cool. That is that problem sorted. :)
Oh, and you got your lt and gt mixed up I think. :)
and to confirm this from the source of the update.bml page:
// for those of you reading the source.... the server will // automatically fill in the form with the time values for // the west coast, but what this does is if the client can // use JavaScript (nearly 99% of the time nowadays), we'll // prefill the time in from their computer's clock
