- • Goal: Store date exactly 4 months in the future
- • Store: timestamp and UTC offset (UTC-4)
- • Current date/time: Jun 1st, 13:00 UTC-4 (1338570000)
- • Future date/time: Oct 1st, 13:00 UTC-4 (1349110800)
- • Correct for Montreal, where DST is still in effect.
- • Wrong for Santiago, where it DST has kicked in so it's UTC-3.
- • Conclusion: By storing timestamp and UTC offset you can't convert back to local time
