Re: [BLUG] Linux Format issue 116 available for free

Now, when you wrote 'midnight GMT tomorrow' on Tuesday, did you mean
Wednesday 00:00 GMT -- which was actually midnight tomorrow when you
wrote this (on Tuesday) or did you mean shortly after 23:59 GMT on
Wednesday, which is actually Thursday 00:00 GMT?

You wrote it to mean 00:00 GMT Wednesday, which has already elapsed.

The site says it goes offline at 23:59:59 GMT March 4th, which means on
midnight Thursday (the 5th) it will no longer be available.

Remember: Midnight == 00:00 == start of the day

If more people used ISO time this would be less of an issue.

With ISO time, you could have said "tomorrow at 24:00 the link goes
down."

I'm sorry. This is another pet peeve of mine.

Cheers,
Steven Black
