Have you noticed that it seems there is one hour delay in myLot time. (I don't know whether my formulation is appropriate, I hope you can understand.)
I'm in China, we use Beijing time, Beijing is located in the time zone of "8th east", so our time is GMT+8. Usually 0:00 in myLot time is 13:00 of the next day in our time.
But today thing changes, now it is Nov, 10th, 13:36 here, but in the bottom of the site I can see "myLot time: November 09, 2010 23:36:42".
Anybody knows why? Did myLot move its server? Or because of summer time in the US?

The same thing happened last year.
The myLot man who should alter the myLot clock seems to forget - until we remind him

Since Mylot is from USA. So it is time is based on America's time zone. If you see one hour delay, it must be the dayling saving time project. In fact this kind of rule was available in my city long time ago. But it proves that it is not suitable here so that it doesn't carry on.
I love China

Hi, youless!
I know that history. Not only Guangzhou, but the whole China tried implementing daylight savings time. But China is too large, and different from the US, we use unique time in the whole China. So it caused a lot of trouble when using daylight time.
