Hey Karel!

 KK> His TZUTC: -0500 has some advantage ;-)

That is an illusion.  As long as our clocks are all in sync, his kernel
compile was two hours ahead of me.

 KK> everyday, I was the hapiest one, regarding timing ;-)

It is all relative.  Using UTC for datetime stamps worldwide makes things much
simpler as far as figuring out when events happen relative to all of us no
matter how silly and inaccurate our respective timezones are, especially
considering the nonstandard TZUTC kludge.  Whoever came up with that should
have been taken out to the woodshed.  :-)

Life is good,
Maurice
