I'm using root-tail to let me view Folding@Home's FAHlog.txt file (among others) on my desktop, and I just noticed that all the times are wrong. It is currently 20:26, but the latest entry from the log thats just appeared says 19:26... All the times are off by -1hr. Anyone know why? Does FAH use GMT instead of using your system clock? (though I'm in the UK so I believe at this time of year we're running GMT anyway). I hadn't noticed this before, but then I haven't run Gentoo for about a month

EDIT: Oh well, this time of year is BST here, +1hr from GMT. I can't even tell the time...

ideas?

Yeah, I looked on the folding@home website a while ago. If I remember correctly it uses GMT in the log. If you're 3 hours off from the meridian then it should be OK.

Yeah, Folding@Home doesn't use your system clock for time. It gets its time from the server, which is GMT.

meh, that's stupid.
but still strange, since i'm in GMT+1...
