I have to say that since I have started with this site I haven't got to bed at a decent time on a sunday night yet. I find myself staying up until the results come in and I know what the new challenge for the week is. For me it is pretty late 2 AM Eastern. Then I can't just stop with knowing how things did I have to check out the new batch of photos and wind up casting a vote on most of them, then I try to go to bed and wind up trying here trying to come up with a photo for the next challenge. I think you guys have come across a strange power that allows you to take over the world one photographer at a time.

Watching TV is constructive?

heck no, but thats about the only show i watch these days---and it's a good one!

I really have to agree Six Feet Under is a great show, haven't got to see the second season though, I miss HBO.

Your real problem is you're in the wrong time zone - it's Monday morning time for work already here!
05/12/2002 11:03:45 PM · #9
Oh well one hour and counting, maybe I can take a short nap.
05/12/2002 11:20:45 PM · #10
I'm not staying up just to see the results. I'm usually up at this hour, and I have laundry in the dryer, and I'm working on some photos I shot today, and ... oh hell, is it midnight mountain time yet?

The administrators of this site should really have some sort of pull when it comes to which time zone we're using...

My vote goes for eastern standard time. Two less hours I have to wait up :)

I vote for Midnight PT... Let those of us on the left coast have all of Sunday evening to process our submissions.

Hey, wait a minute. Drew and Langdon are both on the east coast. Did we get stuck using mountain time because that's where the server is located?

I'm in Western Australia. It's 1.30pm Monday afternoon here, and there's still 30 minutes to go before my first submission is live! You guys have it easy, I have to be impatient all Monday morning...

You got it ;)

... but we aren't necessarily stuck ...

Yeah? What's with all this crunchy granola, cousins marrying, probably no more than 14 people mountain time? They call it "Eastern Standard Time" for a reason. Then again, I'm GMT+8. I'd get to see the results before going back to work on Monday, tho.

Worse still - I've got to go off to work now where the site is blocked (something stupid about wanting us to actually work instead of spending all day on the 'net). Won't see the updates until tonight.

It would probably be nice to be awake just in case the code for some new feature fails the first time it goes live, wouldn't it?

I'm in PST, but I vote for EST.

Yes :)

Fixing code at 2 am when everyone's hammering the site is just no fun. Then again, if you aren't coding at 2 am, you're not really a programmer.

And here I go, back to kiddygarten. Be assured the little tykes will not be getting the full effect of my pedagogy this afternoon. See you in three.

Just got my pic in for this week with less than 10 minutes to spare.. Wasn't going to submit until I came up with an idea at 12:30am EST!

I set up all week for a gymnastic meet. Got the photos and came home to find out there was way too much background distraction in the photos from banners and stuff. I got a cool photo today:)

Popcorn anyone?
