Timezone and coffee v1.0

General — Senn on January 19, 2006 at 8:04 pm

Currently the time displayed in “recently updated” page is in GMT. Both me and Shahee think it would be more relavent to use MVT instead of GMT as it is more relavent to the community of bloggers that we are tracking/maping/analyzing/etc. However both GMT and MVT would be delusory is some entries because different bloggers have different timezones. Myself and Shahee are under the impression that most of them have set it right and we should go for MVT.

Also about the Coffee v1.0 propose by shahee who, unfortunately, is in Netherlands…
We (Inn, myself and Simon) did compile version 1.0 of the coffee. There weren’t any errors during the compilation and nor did it crash afterwards. Most of the things we disscussed had already been implemented or mentioned here.

As per a beta tester I invited, I have changed the first caption in visual.php from

“Visualization: showing the network of Maldivian bloggers that are linked to from their blogs”
TO
“Visualization: showing the network of Maldivian bloggers that linked to each other’s blogs”

If you think this is not right, please revert :)

  1. Ok. I’ll be doing the GMT to MVT displaying before the launching hour.

  2. Ok, the MVT displaying is fixed and it reflects perfectly with my weblog, blogger blogs and couple of other default word press outputs. If there every happens to be a problem with the displaying of date, it is because a specific blog’s feed entry dates are not in a standardized format or mostly due to improper setting of the time zone.

  3. I have changed it to “Visualization: showing the network of Maldivian bloggers that are interlinked”. In general visualization page needs more improvement later, as it should display only the thumbnails. I will work on it.

  4. This line “Thu, 19 Jan 2006 16:31:05 +0000. 97 entries cached.” still displayed +0000. I think it also would be better with MVT. Should that say “..97 entries cached.” or just”…97 entries.”?

  5. Ok. Its done now. The updated time and the number of cached entries just as Shahee proposed above.
