font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Entries are converted into Unix Epoch time (<a href="http://www.epochconverter.com/" style="font-size: 12pt;">http://www.epochconverter.com/</a>) and stored in the database as a single number.  This process has not had errors on GT.  Reporting of eruption times requires converting from Unix Epoch to MST/MDT.  This conversion happens for each entry time you see on GT.  Because of the added complexity of the detailed entry search, I was using a different function to do the conversion that did not account for Daylight Saving Time.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);

It was at 06:06 when I saw that steam cloud go up and I know that time was very near start.</font></blockquote></div></font><br>_______________________________________________ Geysers mailing list Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers</div> </div></div> </div><br>_______________________________________________<br>Geysers mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu" href="mailto:Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu">Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu</a><br><a href="https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers" target="_blank">https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers</a><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
