Thanks Norbert,  my issue is that I don't see how to do that :


As per the doc I can defined the time_zone to be used for a specific block

(rdb:1) Time.use_zone("Europe/London"){ Time.now.in_time_zone }
Mon, 03 Dec 2012 14:33:24 GMT +00:00

(rdb:1) Time.use_zone("Europe/Paris"){ Time.now.in_time_zone }
Mon, 03 Dec 2012 15:33:41 CET +01:00

This is fine with Time.now , but not with a Time.new ...

(rdb:1) Time.use_zone("Europe/London"){ Time.new(2012, 12, 3, 9, 30, 0) }
2012-12-03 09:30:00 +0100

(rdb:1) Time.use_zone("Europe/Paris"){ Time.new(2012, 12, 3, 9, 30, 0) }
2012-12-03 09:30:00 +0100

I cannot believe that there is no way to do the same for Time.new .. ?

Time. New uses the default system timezone when no one is given, so u say that you want 9:30 of your systems timezone in GMT, which is probably 8:30 GMT, depending on your local time zone.

You have to add the corresponding parameter to Time. New. Take a look at its documentation.

I am storing a Time record w a timezone like :       an event at 9:30 in Paris time    

(rdb:1)  Time.zone = "Europe/Paris"
"Europe/Paris"
(rdb:1) Time.new(2012, 12, 3, 9, 30, 0).in_time_zone("Europe/Paris")
Mon, 03 Dec 2012 09:30:00 CET +01:00

Now I want to store another event occurring also at 9:30 but in London time
/London"
(rdb:1) Time.new(2012, 12, 3, 9, 30, 0).in_time_zone("Europe/London")
Mon, 03 Dec 2012 08:30:00 GMT +00:00
