What is your time zone?

We've had a bunch of meta/Answers related threads going through here so here's another one. It's not uncommon to see people wondering why their question has gone unanswered when it's 3am for a bunch of us or vice-versa. So, out of curiosity, what is everyone's current time zone (including Daylight Savings Time if it exists in your country)?

Maybe we can make a histogram sometime.

Here is a related thread to see what your Java package thinks about your timezone:

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1757-what-timezone-abbreviation-does-java-use-for-your-location

I will repeat the MATLAB commands here for convenience:

java.util.Date() % The date string display

-ans.getTimezoneOffset()/60 % the timezone offset from UTC

Mine is PST.

I want to keep it private.:) Would anyone be able to find it out, not by guessing when seeing my post, but by looking at my IP address, for example?

[Sean de Wolski]

I guess the histogram will have to account for NaNs!

I don't know that I can find out your IP address here, from Answers, but you know web sites can guess at it. They know that certain IP addresses are associated with certain ISPs and where they are operating from, so that's why you see all kinds of stuff about your location when you surf the web ("Find out about great deals on cars in Antarctica!")
