I get up at 7 in New York. I get up at 7 in Frankfurt. I get up at 7 in Ubud. It's 7 hours after midnight wherever I happen to be. There is utterly no "time zone" component to the concept (and use case) I'm talking about. -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ [email protected] twitter: @hassan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
