Hmmm. This title seems to defy categorisation. It's not a location, as presently stated: it's only a concept of The Author's unrelated to any action in the text. It's a Place (imaginary, at that), but it might be alone in that category; any ideas? --Old Dickens (talk) 18:22, 2 January 2013 (PST)

Concepts, possibly? Although it's not technically a Discworld concept so that one doesn't really fit either... "Roundworld concepts"? TC01 (talk) 09:44, 4 January 2013 (PST)
I hadn't noticed this before. Funny since I am currently sitting in Peoria, Illinois. --Osiris (talk) 10:29, 4 January 2013 (PST)
Funny, that's (roughly) where I thought you were until the new wiki time turned out to be PST and I thought you'd moved or fooled me. Why is the wiki in San Jose, then?
The server is hosted in EST, I sit in CST but the image that the server is based upon was built by a company based in San Jose in PST. Honestly, I hadn't thought about changing the timezone on the wiki. What'd we have it before? GMT? --Osiris (talk) 14:27, 4 January 2013 (PST)
It used to be GMT, then Sanity changed to Gouda time at a recent upgrade. He didn't have your alternatives, I guess. I keep mine on GMT. San Jose was a good guess! --Old Dickens (talk) 15:16, 4 January 2013 (PST)
Ok it's back to GMT --Osiris (talk) 05:33, 5 January 2013 (GMT)
