Is it me....or is the time on MARP incorrect?

It seems like the time is off by two hours (behind). Is it just me? I just made sure my clock was correct, and it is. Can anyone confirm this?

Judging by the time JD uploaded his btime score, and when he mentioned that he'd done that on #marp, I'd say it's perfectly correct.

[12:12] <JoustGod> cool...it would be nice to see your work
[12:13] <JDllama> gimme a few seconds

[12:14] <JoustGod> at MARP?
[12:15] <JDllama> yeah

My clock may be a couple of minutes off, but that's about right.
(I'm +1200 GMT)

Let's see. I uploaded the recording at about 10:00PM EST time. About 02:00 GMT time, according to MARP. So that is a 4 hour difference? How did that happen? That would mean it is 0:00 GMT time when it is 8:00PM EST time. Before, it used to be 6:00PM EST, we did gain an hour (Daylights Saving Time, "Spring" Ahead), but I hadn't noticed that changed anything. And if anything, it would have just changed by one hour, right?

In Europe, from spring to autumn, we advance clock (1 hour more) ; it is called "heure d'été", it was made for economize energy (lights etc)

Maybe it's due to that (GMT= Greenwich Meridian Time, and Greenwich is in Europe)

GMT does not change for daylight savings, although England itself does (Greenwich, from what I understand, is somewhere near London).
