Emdash-palooza

Right.  So.  Another day of coding, y’see.  Did you know that after a day of messing with things like timezone conversions in PHP, your brain takes on the consistency of mashed potatoes?  It’s pretty impressive, in a frightening and appalling sort of way.  Much was accomplished today.  Quarto is intended to be based off of GMT (ok, ok, UTC), but I wanted to convert the GMT timestamps to whatever the administrator chose as ‘local time.’  The only place that I’m leaving dates in straight GMT is in the usage log.

Originally, I think I had a reason for this.  Right now, if forced to give a reason, I’d probably stick my fingers in my ears, squinch my eyes shut, and bawl something along the lines of "becauseI’mnotgonnadoitandyoucan’tmakeme!"

Hey, it’s as valid of a reason as you’re likely to get at this point.
