scj is claiming victory already. With only 4 days to go, does anyone wan't to take him down?

count 15 years ago

If I'm going to learn to renumber my whole day anyway, why not just switch to UTC and preserve hundreds of years of convention in notation and utility?

    UTC does not address the whole issue of different timezones and such which ebeats and swatch internet time do.

      The same problems still exist with ebeats. How do I know if 900 ebeats is the middle of the night or middle of the day for a specific country? I don't know until I convert it to their local time. The only advantage I can see is that you can display a universal time code with only three digits, saving space on a small watch face.

        it took less than a week to 'know' the time in beats. we've use this to coordinate time on our team, spread from Texas to EU to Japan.
