Subject: What's the diff?
I just made a boo boo and emailed CF-Talk instead of CF-Community... sigh...
anyway, here's my mail:
So your wondering, if I'm working on some system on the other side of the
panet, or just in another time zone, but I want it working off my time, not
the servers', what do I do?
And perhaps you don't want to fiddle with JavaScript. :-P
Well, I wrote an email awhile back answering something like this, but I want
to know: was my answer the best way, or the worst?
<cfscript>
// calculate the current Diff (your local time) from GMT/UTC in seconds as
request.remoteDiff_seconds then this'll do the rest
// lets pick the east side of Australia (+10 GMT)
request.remoteDiff_seconds = 36000;
request.remoteDate = DateAdd("s", request.remoteDiff_seconds, DateAdd("s",
StructFind(GetTimeZoneInfo(), "utcTotalOffset"), Now()));
// now use request.remoteDate instead of now() (hey, it'll likely only be
seconds out, what's the fuss?)
</cfscript>
<cf_info source="brain">
okay, I admit it, I just wanted to communicate with human beings for a
minute.... sure, I like code, but I want to participate in conversation with
real beings...
<cf_dream>
One day I'll write good enough code that someone will say "hey, have
a break and go talk to people for a couple of days" ahh
