Marvin Giles and I will join the Parkinsons channel on the Undernet
this evening (Thursday) from 8:30 (20:30) to 10:00 (22:00) Central Standard
Time (-6:00).
These times roughly translate into:
+2 Europe and South Africa: 4:30 to 6 AM Friday
+10 Australia(some parts): 2:30 to 4 PM Friday
To do the global math from your point, if you are west of -6 but not west of
Wake Island in the Pacific, subtract -6 from your time zone which will
indicate the number of hours difference you need to SUBTRACT from 8:30 PM
Thursday to arrive at a time that the Parkinsons channel is open.
If you are in a + time zone, ie. +10, you then ADD your time zone to -6
ignoring the minus and plus. Then add this total to 8:30 PM Thursday which
will translate into your local time Friday.

The Undernet servers around the world are tied together so that users of the
Parkinsons channel can chat with the group assembled or privately to another
user in REAL-TIME around the world. As you learn more about this chatting,
you can do more with your software.
Marvin was so kind the other day to list the Undernet servers in the US, the
whole list world wide follows: Use the server closest to you that is available.
