Hey Karel!

 KK> His TZUTC: -0500 has some advantage ;-)

That is an illusion.  As long as our clocks are all in sync, his kernel compile was two hours ahead of me.

 KK> Once beeing part of US/Japan/Czech project - having calls
 KK> everyday, I was the hapiest one, regarding timing ;-)

It is all relative.  Using UTC for datetime stamps worldwide makes things much simpler as far as figuring out when events happen relative to all of us no matter how silly and inaccurate our respective timezones are, especially considering the nonstandard TZUTC kludge.  Whoever came up with that should have been taken out to the woodshed.  :-)

Life is good,
Maurice
