Do you know the time? GMT that is.

So, lately I've noticed it has taken an extremely long time for my posts to appear on the LJ feed. I began to wonder why, if LJ checks every hour, it would take up to 6 hours for a post to pop on over. Then I realized the issue. The feed provided to LJ uses a GMT time stamp, currently at CST+6. Ah Ha! So, I've written a quick perl script on my server that will adjust the times in the feed to reflect a more accurate creation and modification time. If all is well in the world, this should appear on LJ not too long (say 1 hour or less) from 17:30 CST.

Begin the test ..... NOW!
