Well, it's monday for me (despite still being sunday for most of our
readers).
At this moment, we're at Zulu (UTC) plus 11 hours (you'll notice dates
in the headers have +1100 in them - now you can guess why). That makes
me about 16 hours ahead of the east coast (at least according the MIT
machine I found the time on), and 17 hours ahead of the west coast
(according to a machine at UCSD).
Everyone should know what their time is relative to UTC anyway, so you
can work it out from there :-)
