/ti:m T/ An unspecified but usually well-understood time, often used in conjunction with a lATer time T+1. "We' ll meet on campus AT time T or AT Louie' s AT time T+1" means, in the context of going out for dinner: "We can meet on campus and go to Louie' s, or we can meet AT Louie' s itself a bit lATer." (Louie' s was a Chinese restaurant in Palo Alto thAT was a favourite with hackers.) Had the number 30 been used instead of the number 1, it would have implied thAT the travel time from campus to Louie' s is 30 minutes whATever time T is (and thAT hasn' t been decided on yet), you can meet half an hour lATer AT Louie' s than you could on campus and end up eATing AT the same time. See also since time T equals minus infinity. [Jargon File] (1994-12-12)
