LSL Wiki: llGetTimestamp
The letter Z stands for Zulu, the military time zone name for UTC (another name for GMT). Don't ask me why they have this function use UTC when SL has a universal time of its own based on PST/PDT.  _____________________

It's because we specificly asked for a function in UTC not PST/PDT, (as PST/PDT is a pain in the but to convert to UTC)
The order of introduction of the functions was llGetWallclock llGetGMTclock llGetTimestamp If you want the PST date use the function found at llGetDate on the wiki _____________________
