We have "mountain time" here. The people I bought my house from were supposed to close in December 2000 on the house they were building and didn't until the beginning of August 2001. Deer season, good trout fishing, a few nights out with the moonshine and apple brandy seem to make the difference.

Of course, I always thought "internet time" went FASTER than real time.

Internet Time to me is a time frame that is speeded up... Business on the internet move at a much faster pace then other business....

Great, I'm glad you feel that way also, in internet time things go much faster, partially because you can work 24/7

Internet clocks move slower than they used to. Guess we're moving pretty fast.

Well... It's not really "internet" time.... It's programmer time.....

The standard answer from a programmer's view is "two weeks". It's just that every time you ask the question you will get the same reply.....

Start of project: It will take about two weeks
One week in: Probably take about two weeks
Two Weeks in: Didn't I tell you it will take two weeks
Three weeks in: I told you last time TWO WEEKS... dammit
Four weeks in: Fuckin eh...I thought I told you ..."TWO WEEKS", now, if you hadnt been asking me every two fucking minutes how long it was gonna take, I could have been done two weeks ago.......

Oh ain't THAT the truth... if I had a $1 every time I'd had nearly that same identical conversation...

Internet time is much slower than real time I have learned. An ad that should take an hour takes a week, and I've had to ask for it daily, and if it ONLY takes a week, I'm happy!
