Hi,

I have searched the scripting forums as well as taken sample scripts and gone through the LSL wiki to try to make a simple script that would display the date, and time in Eastern Time for US (EST) without success. Does anyone know of a script that would do such a thing? I just wanted to put it in an invisible prim for it to display the time and date above my head. Sure it has to be a simple 5 line script or something.

Anyone know where I might find something like this?

Also i guess EST is Current time zone offset: UTC/GMT -4 hours

Thanks in advance,
Kevin Paisley

Several variations of flip titler and also text clocks have been posted.
The basic requirement is to get the gmt time and then offset for your particular locale, then format it for display.
Obviously it will need a timer to keep the updates going, every minute should be accurate enough.
