Unix shell: set time zone on a per user basis

This is mainly a note for me, but I think that it may be useful also for other users.

Most Unix based systems keep system time as UTC. If you are on a different time zone, you can set your own time zone, on a per user basis. Open your ~/.bashrc file and set up TZ environment variable:

export TZ="/usr/share/zoneinfo/{TIMEZONE-DIRECTORY}/{TIMEZONE_FILE}

For example, for Europe/Rome time zone:

export TZ="/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Rome"

New web site

Posted by Paolo Ferretti on Wed 12 Aug 2009 16:53 in Django  - Comments (0) - Permalink

I'm proud to present my new web site, written entirely in Django. Certainly there'll be some bugs, but roughly this is the version that will be on-line for a lot of time.

Probably I'll open a new "Labs" version with my personal Python "experiments". Maybe the code will help someone in future!

If you're searching my old posts of my ex-Wordpress based site, they are under old.paoloferretti.it.

I hope a good (future) reading on this blog.
