More on temporal constructs (part 1)

When I started the project of creating a specific time for Fjord, it was in it's theoretical development phase, and perhaps I shouldn't have posted about it as early as I did. But since the cat's out of the bag, I might as well move forward with a more elaborate detailing of my thinking.

Based on historical records, Fjordsurfing "the blog" was started January 19th 2005. However, the real cohesion which began the Fjord concept started very close to January 1, 2005. So, I propose that instead of all this gibberish, we go ahead and start this year, THE YEAR OF OUR FJORD - ONE.

Now the days line up pretty well, if we keep the current month structure, and just say, today is February 1, In the Year of our Fjord - One. We'll call 2006 The Year of our Fjord Two and so-forth.

Over the last few years, there has been a small movement across the internets to convert our 24-hour based time system into a new global system, that takes into account the truly global and modern connection that the internet has created.

Here are a couple of sites (I've seen better, but these were the ones I quickly found on Google for the purpose of this post) briefly dealing with the subject.

Basically - and like I said - still in its development stage - the idea is to combine two separate time zones (with two hours between them) into one time system which becomes Fjord Standard Time. In Fjord Standard Time, it would no longer be possible for someone to add a post at 3:52 p.m., and have someone else read it at 1:53 p.m., on the same day, as both (and every) time zones would be synchronized to exactly the same time structure. I've got the boys down at Fjordlab(tm) crunching the numbers right now, and hopefully in a few days, I'll have a proposal that is a bit more concise.
