Re: [HACKERS] timezone problem?

Has anyone noticed the following timezoning problem..

If a datetime variable is read out, and then inserted back in again
(verbatim) I get a change in the time value. I suspect that it because
out lime zona Australia/Adelaide is CST, which I belive is also an
American timezone.  Trimming the timezone info (CST) off, fixes this
problem.  Can anyone shed any light?

How does one get the +1030 timezone format?
