The times in the table are EST (Eastern Standard Time), but you can switch time zones below.
Baghdad time is 8 hours "later" than EST (e.g., 9am EST is 5pm in Baghdad).
The polls open in Iraq at 7:00am and close at 5:00pm (17:00) Baghdad time on
Sunday, January 30, 2005. That means that the polls will open at 11:00pm (23:00) EST on Saturday, January 29,
and close 10 hours later at 9:00am EST on Sunday, January 30, 2005.
We'd like prayer warriors to cover three periods:
1) 4 hours prior to voting (poll setup): 7-11pm Saturday EST (orange)
2) 10 hours of voting: 11pm Saturday - 9am Sunday EST (pink)
3) 4 hours after voting (shutdown & ballot security): 9am-1pm EST (yellow)
--------------------
18 hours total (36 half-hour timeslots).
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Why can't I see who else has signed up?
A: Matthew 6:5-6
Q: How hard would it be to make a web page like this for my church?
A: Very easy! This web page is just a simple PHP script, which you
can rename to whatever you wish and put onto any web server that supports
PHP 4.1.0 or later. Just download the PHP source code file, make a
few very simple edits (change the organization name and contact person, the
name of the data file, and perhaps the default time zone), and put it on your
server. That's all there is to it. Or, if you prefer, Dave will
host it on his web server for you for free (contact him at 1-919-481-0098 or
).
Q: Where can I get the PHP source code?
A: http://www.burtonsys.com/download/prayer_coverage.zip
(version 31, last updated 30-Jan-05, 5:43pm EST). But it would be
a good idea to call or email Dave and make sure you are getting the latest
and greatest version.
Q: How can I sign up someone who has no email address?
A: Leave the email address blank, but enter the name and phone number.
However, to later use the "Report" or "Cancel" features both the name and
phone number will have to match exactly what you entered when you signed up.
Please report
any problems to
or 1-919-481-0098.
