Is it just me, or did it post on Fridays a long time ago?

[JRandomNoob]

“Long time ago” it posted semi-randomly on Thursdays and Fridays, but after the FTP server trouble that killed voting (and posting) for a month, it started posting regularly on Fridays. Until Oct 28 2011, after which date it continued posting on Thursdays. People more familiar with its schedules and restarts could perhaps shed some light on the reasons it’s acting like this, but I’m not sure they would:-P

Just a wild guess, but it could be day-of-the-week-index problem (whether it starts from 0/1 and/or whether it starts from Monday/Sunday).

Wait just a second, am I unaware of the day of the week for such a long time?

Btw, today I accidentally (i.e. unrelated to UrT and time keeping in virtual machines) know that it's Thursday because it's a significant Thursday (the one before Easter) in my religion.

Edit:
Actually, it is since 2011-11-03.

Aye. 2011-10-28 last time on Fri, 2011-11-03 first time on Thu. (Also, nice to see another person using this date notation in his board settings:-D)

BTW, what time zone this bot thinks it’s running in — we have quite a bunch of different times in use, B3 for example gives the !id time in CST (UTC -0600)? You notice that the Friday posts are all made an hour later (but not due to DST correction)… erm… is Blinky’s creation following the Eastern Standard Time?

Afaik, ss opposed to x86, humans usually represent numbers in little endian order (i.e. 124317 (to state the obvious)). Thus, imho YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss would be the most logical way to represent a time stamp.
