scheduling, or the timezone dance

[Karsten Wade]

Apparently, those of us in the States have software that doesn't
calculate British Summer Time correctly.  Or does it?

From rom what I got out of yesterday's conversation, I am in fact -8
UTC/GMT, and not -7 UTC/GMT as rktime shows me[1].  

Uh ... but http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_UTC.aspx
agrees with rktime.

Can one of the UKers explain to me wtf is going on?

[1] I love rktime, first time it's failed me.
