Server Time
If you log off the wiki and check recent changes, you see that the first edit of the year is someone else. I didn't catch the name, but it's enough to know that it's not you. Now, the local time where the server actually is, well, I don't know. But the server time is not U. S. Eastern in any case, so it's not "Server Time." Most properly, it's not the default time that the server delivers. Schmidt 03:28, 1 Jan 2006 (EST)

When I look at times that are not based on my user time, they are in EST, and this site is hosted in california, actually: organization: Intrepid Technology, Inc. address: 2155 Park Blvd. city: Palo Alto state: CA postal-code: 94306 country: US phone: +1 650 573 5642 Anyway, I dunno, I had the first edit in what I had calculated as server time - thanks for breaking my little happy new years bubble! Also thanks for being the first to depress me in 2006... -- &#8465;ilver&#167;&#8465;ide|undefined 03:43, 1 Jan 2006 (EST)


 * This New Years business is driving me up the wall. What's the difference between today and yesterday? Today is Sunday, and yesterday was Saturday. Just like last week, and just like next week. Why do holidays like that exist? They're purely secular and just for the sake of having a holiday. Lame, if you ask me. And just so everyone knows, I've worked every New Years Day and New Years Eve for the past, oh, 6 or 7 years, unless it just so happened to fall on Friday night or early Saturday. So frankly, my dear, I don't give a flying leap that I burst your bubble, because such a bubble is asking to be popped. Anyways, you should still say "server time zone" rather than "server time" (with the proper caveat), for the reason stated above: that when you're not logged in, the recent changes list says that someone else made the first edit of the year.
