- bsoric, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0:(
Its already nearly 11:30 am in Australia
Wouldn't it make more sense just to look at your computer clock? You don't need to be looking for your city. - MikeEFresh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0There are 365 other midnights in a leap year.
- chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+04 hours for me.
- Settra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+012 hours too late for aussies :(
- metaphorever, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I always use www.time.gov. It's US only, but it's the "real" official time straight from the atomic clock in Boulder Colorado.
- datter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Useful if you don't have the modern luxury of a clock somewhere handy. It's just another day people... as Ford Prefect said, "Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so.". :)
- dude3609, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0heh.. 5min till new years in paris, rome, berlin, etc..
then in an hour comes london, dublin, etc. - davdav, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Who cares
- aquax, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Uhh...It shows GMT as 1am already...and on their list London shows as still 1 hour to go...
Something's not correct. - 8ight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0sooo, am i stupid? i didn't realize some timezones where just a half hour behind/ahead of the next. i learnt something today!!! i think. i hate you public skool!
- mbajax, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0gChart has a much better interface for world local time. Click anywhere on google map and you get a running clock for the local time of that location, any day, anywhere.
http://www.gchart.com - ferrell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0So does does take into accound the extra second we are adding this year?
- PhairOh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@8ight
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, so I'll just tell you that yes indeed, there are some time zones that are 30 minutes off the next time zone - treelovinhippie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0beer and bourbon, beer and bourbon... HAPPPY NEW YEAR!
- DewayneSmith, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't like New Years too much, after benge drinking from Christmas I'm wore out and need to work it out of my system. Not open another of bottle of Tanqueray.
+Digg for the idea though. - madcat87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I am in 2006 already :)
Happy new Year. - godmstr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0is this showing the extra second this year? where its supposed to count 58 59 60 00
- jreid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS
- dolby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0it is not 2006 til the ball drops in NYC, sorry the rest of the world.
- luke--, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wait...so does this mean that there will be an 11 in the countdown, or the countdown will happen 1 second later than usual?
- NiLeS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I like how it's based off of my system clock. Oh, yeah:
"There will be an additional leap second at 2005-12-31 23:59:60 UTC which is not shown in this countdown"
Anyway, cool idea. - vonskippy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0For those of you who have a computer to display this lame ass web page - but don't have a system clock to tell you when it's midnight? What computer doesn't have a freaking clock on it? Ever hear of NTP?
Completely useless. - BBX25, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I expected a more creative interface, but nonetheless, it's quite useful. Dugg +1.
- wilcohol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If anyone is a Diggamaniac, we'll do a countdown at Digg ~
- Eraser, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nothing special... I wrote the same thing pretty much using ajax - and since mine is based on a constantly updating time server, the extra added second was compesated for.
http://www.majistic.com/~aketchel/code/ajaxCounter/?holiday=newyears
Change new years to any of the major (U.S.) national holidays for counters to that day... automatically changes to the following year once the holiday has past(counter hits 0). - vheissu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have a similar little gadget...its called a clock
- robert_, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Would Have been good....if I had it 18 HOURS AGO!
- jamiejamez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@8ight
If you thought 30min time zones were strange, Nepal and Chatham Island actually have 15min Timezones. - anorris, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Am I the first person here to ask why Java? It would be just as easy to do it in JavaScript.... actually easier... what a waste lol
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is cool. Happy New Year from suburban Washington DC.

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0timeanddate.com is a handy site to have bookmarked, especially the meeting planner
http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html - dude3609, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Yea.. Doesn't look the best, but i don't think they care about that.. I don't think they were trying to impress anybody. lol.
