The hand points to the next 'Midnight'.
By clicking on the green globes ,
you will go to the that time zones' page. There you can view the guestbook and images taken for that timezone.
Please sign the Time Zone Guest Book for each time zone you are 'here' celebrating with us. Please keep in mind, you will need to sign-in for every time zone so we have both a picture and a guest book entry for everyone who celebrates.
The 'PreParty' guestbook can be read here.
We got off to a slow start this morning. Troubles with the code from last year that did not work this year, issues with intermediate networks dropping packets and some zone data that was off. It took a few zones to figure out what was wrong and few more to figure out how to fix it. A little drunk coding later and it looks like we got it working now and it is automatically rolling the guestbook and updating the zones after every time zone. Woohoo!!
One thing that did work was the NY snaps. I have had to manually copy some of them up to the sever and hand-upate the guestbook entries but they are working now. I've also written a script to check for hung picture transfers (caused by Cogent sucking) and clear them out. The network seems to be working, now, so I don't know if we got that right, yet. This may cause images to hang for a minute or so.
