Something will happen on Friday, June 22, 2007 at 1:00:AM G

Considering the countdown work of of your system clock you can just change the time. For those non computer friendly people that means it runs off your computer time. Set it forward to next week and the countdown gets smaller. I believe it is actually 12 and not 1 am but I could be wrong. Try it out.

Yeah you're right!, i just set my system clock to 23:59 and the date to the 21/06/07.
the i reset my browser, low and behold, the countdown said 5 minutes to go.

So, it's actually 00:00 am on the 22/06/07 GMT.

Gonna find out what i miss calculated.

I thought it ended on June 21st.... the Summer solstice. I set my clock on the 20th, and it says 5 hours left. 12:00 AM June 21st 20076

It ends at midnoght on the 20th-21st, but actually it ends at a different time (that is the same time) all over the world. Which is confusing. One can only assume it will be fixed, or it will happen in stages. or something

[Sqorck]

when i set my pc to the 20th it hits zero now, so is it geting faster or what.

[Lichtonatus]

What time one the 20th?

[Sir Topham Hat]

Midnight on the 20th isn't it.

[Lichtonatus]

yeah, that's what i thought. But I was asking Sqork when because he said it had changed. So Shoo!

[Sqorck]

its midnight on the 20th but every one is saying its midnight on the 21st and as far as I can tell i ends on the 20th.

THE DATE IS JUNE 21ST, 2007 AT 12 IN THE MORNING

When the day changes from the 20th to the 21st, thats what time it happens. How do I know? The ActionScript in the clock is counting down to that time. Want the exact command?

Code: Select all

endTime = new Date(2007, 5, 21, 0, 0, 0, 0);

That refers to the year 2007, the month of June (probably 5 because 0 would be January), 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds, 0 milliseconds. The milliseconds are not displayed, but still required for correct syntax (I'm assuming here as well.) (I don't know how to program ActionScript, but I can understand the syntax here)

Any questions?
