Easier US Time Zone Conversions
Posted by: | Comments
For remote web hosting technicians, trying to remember what time it is where your business is located can be a pain. Thankfully, I have an easy to remember bookmark that should save you both trouble and time when it comes to remembering when that next big meeting is for you and for your boss who lives across the country.
The web site to remember, bookmark (or both) is whattimeisitthere.info. This web site takes care of the time conversions for you. For example, many of you know I work remotely for Lunarpages, and they are based out of California. So, with me being in Texas – that is a big shift in time. So, let us say my boss wants to have a meeting at 4:00 PM Pacific time. All I have to do is pull up this web site, type in “at 4:00pm pacific”. I would then know that the would be 6:00pm central time, which is my own time zone.
For a handy tool to do quick US time zone conversions, go visit whattimeisitthere.info.

Here are just a few topics from this week’s episode:
- How to Backup Your Web Site Backups – Speaking of resolutions, everybody should be making the resolution to backup their web site backups. How can you do so cheaply? I’ll let you know.
- Easier US Time Zone Conversions – This week I will share with you a tool I use to help me do quick time zone conversions. It is a great resource for remote web hosting workers.

Quick Tip #2 – Remember, keep your web site file names and file paths all in lowercase when working on your web site. Web servers are case sensitive, so better to get yourself using one method from the start, rather than having to do a lot of redirection fixing in the future.
