Which time zone are you in?
Sometimes I have trouble figuring out when some of my h2g2 friends can be expected to be online, since I keep forgetting which time zones they are in, and how many hours before or behind my zone that is.
I thought I'd do something about it, and I now plan to make a table listing the timezones and researchers in each zone - but I need your help! Please post in a conversation titled with your time zone (or start a new conversation if there isn't one already) to let me know where/when you can be found!
You'll find the h2g2 Time Zone Table HERE
Please note that naming your time zone will reveal your location on - at least roughly!
Thanks for your help!
