[Vo]:Coutdown at ecat.com

2011-09-30 Thread Daniel Rocha
Dear People,

I noticed that the countdown at http://ecat.com/ points to tonight, October
1st, 12:00am. This is odd given that the only significant market in my
timezone is that of my country, Brazil, but that page is in English. What
does that show to you?

In case that is synchronized with the computer clock, would you mind
changing the clock in your computer to later date so that we see what
happens? I am at work now and I cannot change my clock.

What I mean is, what does the countdown show to you, in your timezone? What
happens to that website if you put a later date, say, tomorrow, in your
computer's clock?

It's a countdown clock.  Zero hour will be 6:00pm Eastern on 9/30/2011.

It says We are currently building a new site which will be ready
soon. In the mean time you can follow join our newsletter to stay

Is that an e-cat related site?

Seems to be E.CAT. from Electric Catalog

More likely it is sync'ed to a SNTP server in your country.  Here is
something about that:

Time servers are distributed throughout the internet:

Yeah, I know. But I found it interesting that it would start a few hours
before October, the month with lots of surprises for the ecat.
