CEST still too complicated, we use Paris Time now. Guess that's at least some improvement.

whenever i wrote any posts like this i would always use [city] time because it's so easy to mess up timezones (especially when some parts of the world change their clocks at different times). also the "S" in CEST means "summer" and the S in PST means "standard". so confusing :(

Isn't that what GMT+1, GMT+2 etc are for?

Imo that's a much more logical way of denoting time zones. All you need to do is remember how many hours away from GMT you are and it's a very, very simple calculation to figure out what time something is for you.

the problem then comes from the fact that people think they're in GMT all the time
