METATOPIA 2012 takes place November 9 - 11, 2012 at the Morristown Hyatt and Conference Center in Morristown, New Jersey.
The system's time stamp is on Standard time. That is, at 2:45, my messages are time-stamping as 1:45.
This problem still exists. I just posted; it's 4:08. The message time-stamped as 3:08. And it's not even late October, when a DST shift might be understandable (if the DST-extension patch wasn't applied).
