I don't know what time we should start, but maybe we should start by taking turns lurking in there well in advance. Australia and NZ will see new year first, then some time later Europe and Finland :) and some 7 hours after that it's east coast US.
I guess we'll have to see when the first country is getting close to midnight, and time ourselves accordingly, maybe an hour before midnight for them. Eastern Australia is like 8 hours ahead of me. Maybe we should start with them. That would be afternoon for me, I can do that.
I guess it will peak around 6pm-2am for you silly north americans. :)

say that a few hundred more times and some of us may get upset.
That's just because none of the rest of us have a proper hall to hold a ball. It's difficult to fit all those dancing folk into an average living room.

No, no. Not quite that early :)
Starting with Finland 3pm (=1500=UTC+2), then England is 1pm (=1300=UTC) then East Coast NA is 8am (=UTC-5). Then Central, Mountain, and finally Pacific is 5am on Victoria Island (=UTC-8). UTC stands for Universal Coordinated Time, forerly called Greenwich Mean Time, and it's convenient for coordinating world-wide efforts like this.
By the way, Anna, thanks for organizing this, & Jan too, and if I'm anywhere near a computer on New Year's eve, I'll see you all on the Chat line.
I have one. Running Linux. It is available for good purpose, if needed. ;)
