Here's what I was just thinking. This timezone seems too complicated and what do you guys think about me just displaying all the times in GMT and then allow the user to set to their local time by selecting a pulldown list of all the times GMT -11 to GMT +12.
set local time to 1:10pm set local time to 2:10pm set local time to 3:10pm set local time to 4:10pm . . . They would have to change their settings once a year for day light savings but the good thing is I don't have to worry about tz anymore.
