I would like to contact @Mike-Dimmick Unwatch om regard to his class for time zone
I need to work on on an old server app and must be able to know the time right now in another timezone other than mine.
Please contact me
Regards

Have you googled how time zones work? Might save you some time.
edit: Time zone - Wikipedia - a good start

Had to replace an HDD drive which was behaving erratically.
I suspected heat. Installed new HDD.
I had to mount it on an SATA to USB cable so I could copy data to new drive.
However old drive still behaved poorly even outside the case (heat again).
Laid it on a freezer pack from fridge and now works just fine for copying data.
We shall see if it works to the end.

Did you save the data?
Its still copying.
I'll have to leave it overnight to finish if it does.

Yes, the only thing broken was the display. When I got home I plugged in an external monitor to back up stuff from the trip, then dumped it all onto a new machine. The HDD is still sitting here somewhere, labelled with the computer name and date it came out.

Good.
Displays don't like too much heat either.
Here in TX, it gets quite hot.
Laptops need to be treated carefully if you use them outside.

Lucky other times?
At least in the past I saw computers advertise temperature extremes and they were not all that great. Maybe by the pool (or on a porch in a mild Maine day if you are into that.)
But looks like they do build for more extreme conditions if you look.

Most airbases I work on either have permanent buildings or at worst "shipping containers with windows" cabins, all with aircon of some sort.
This one was still being set up, and we were working out of a large tent. A container arrived a couple of days too late.

It worked. Got all my data (.5tb) moved onto new drive.

I have this image for my question: click here
how to compute each planet's position in Zodiac zone every day? such as Venus's position, the angle between Jupiter and Saturn?
Here is one link for Geocentric view of Earth orbiting. it may not be that easy...
I already got help from this Lounge to get JPL data source for each planet's orbits.

Start by finding out the date and time.
When you have that, work out where in it's orbit Earth is - unless you are currently resident on a different planet, in which case use that one instead.
Then work out the location of each other relevant planet or moon.
Basic geometry will then give you the vectors. Extend the vectors to the zodiac zones and Robert is your mother's brother.
Then all you have to do is find someone gullible enough to believe in that twaddle.

thanks for your thoughts. My goal is to put these position(in angle) into a text file and drive my another program to do more calculations.
my doing is not related with the sign for personal life

Throw a rock. First person it hits. And those it bounces and hits. And the paramedics that bandage them up. And the police that arrive to arrest you. And the bystanders taking selfies.
Or the easier route is to teach at one of the many universities that offer a Masters in the study of Astrology.

I agree with OriginalGriff's 'twaddle' statement. But why can't you just use a planetarium program, set it to the time you want, and find the planet's position on the ecliptic? Then figure out how that relates to 'zodiac zones,' and you are done. Ain't nothing hard about that. Any basic planetarium program gives ecliptic positions.

|
|
|

I need accurate angle information in degree(relative position with another planet), it may need some projective geometry etc...

Most planetarium programs give results accurate to an arc-second or less, so your reply is meaningless. It's pretty f***ing easy to subtract differences. You could script the problem in Stellarium.
