Gkrellm Itime is the internet time plugin for Gkrellm.
.
Internet time is a concept by Swatch that divides the virtual and real
day into 1000 "beats". A beat is 1 minute and 26.4 seconds long. This is
a global concept, therefore no timezones are needed.
.
Swatch created a new meridian in Biel, Switzerland, the home of the
company. This meridian is called Biel Mean Time (BMT) and will be the
universal reference for the Internet time.
.
The internet time is represented with an "@" before the number of beats.
A day in the internet time begins at midnight BMT (@000) in Central Europe
wintertime, and 12 o'clock noon in Biel, Switzerland, happens at @500 BMT. |
