J-S 0 #5 December 30, 2012 My girl bought me a jar of moonshine from TN for the holiday. I know what I'm drinking. What I'm doing, probably be crushing up a bag of sunchips and counting the crumbs while watching CSPAN reruns. My name, Mr. Excitement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 14 #12 December 30, 2012 I have to watch the radar scope until 11, but I should be home and over to the neighbor's party by 11:30. I'll be drinking champagne (okay, California sparkling wine) and smooching Vskydiver @ midnight. This will be the first time we haven't hosted a party in 6-7 years, I wonder if anyone will show up at our house assuming we're having one as always?

Friend of mine in Florida made her 1999th jump on Dec 31, 1999 and her 2000th jump on Jan 1, 2000. How cool was that? As for me, just keeping my sick ass at home as usual.

And don't forget to subtract leap seconds from the time if you're trying to convert to UTC! If I'm not mistaken, everyone just does it in their timezone, which is GMT plus-or-minus something. Except the Chinese. Theirs is GMT plus-or-minus February. And Jewish people, who are GMT plus around 3000 years and minus a couple of months, give or take. Anywhoo if you're just doing in your timezone, make a 19 second fuse on your fireworks and have your computer ignite it when the computer says midnight and you should just about nail it! Unless you're Jewish, in which case you'll need a 3000 year fuse. Wait, that's not right... Also technically that's still just an average, due to time running differently depending on your speed and gravity. So if you're in a skyrise in New York, time doesn't run at the same rate as if you're in a shack on the equator. It's a pretty good average though, enough that I don't have to account for relatively and can still point an antenna at a satellite and be accurate to a few meters.I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind.

billvon 2,400 #20 December 30, 2012 >In what time zone? PST. >Keep in mind that GPS time runs 19 seconds faster than international atomic time. And there's the rub. The 'official' US time I am getting from the java applet at www.time.gov actually matches the GPS time as reported in the GPRMC message. My theory is that the UTC time in the GPRMC sentence on this GPS is pre-corrected - but to verify I will use a WWVB receiver, once I can get the damn modulation decoded . . .
