I disagree. As long as the timestamps have the correct timezone on them then there's no reason why uploaders should be forced to convert them to UTC themselves. See https://groups.google.com/d/msg/eve-emdr/oc6aMya4V1Y/5GsWbmh0l9QJ for the discussion triggered by me being in UTC+1 right now  |

Who is "you" in that statement?
If the generators (the people who write the uploaders) are forced to convert to UTC then they do need to worry about DST, because they need to convert away from their local timezone (whatever that is right now).
The spec doesn't currently force UTC, which means that uploaders don't need to worry about DST (other than knowing what timezone they're in right now, which their date library does for them, right?) and consumers just need to parse the date properly and not worry about it (because their date library deals with the timezone for them, right?)
I agree that things would be a lot simpler if everyone just used UTC and got used to going to work at 23:00 or whatever, but I don't think that idea will catch on  |

I'm not quite sure I understand this, but I'm fairly sure we don't actually disagree all that much so I'll stop arguing the point now  |

I have checked Webfaction and Dreamhost but both are expensive for totally free EvE projects. Plus they really push into multi-year subscription purchases and I can't commit to such a budget.
All I needed to do is to listen for EMDR messages 24/7 and slap them in a database, I don't even need a web frontend (no I can't do it with a computer at home).
I'm in a similar position to you, Vaerah - my host doesn't want persistent processes but I'd like to collect EMDR data. I went for a cheap VPS - there are some really cheap packages around. http://www.lowendbox.com/ is a good place to start looking. We're talking down to about US$3/mo in some cases. Might be worth a try. |

I'm looking at about 1GB/week on my consumer (roughly - that figure includes other traffic too). |

Actually I have to bug Otaci about that. You both use the same words for your sites but with a twist (and that confused me).
Ha, thought it might have been that |
