"... The big PIA is time-syncing in with where you are at the moment ..."

Though I was thinking this fails if your machine has the wrong time.

"... It should now pick up your timezone via js ..."

 var offset = new Date().getTimezoneOffset() / 60
 if(offset != parseInt(JSTZ_OFFSET)){
   new Ajax.Request("/jstz/" + offset);
 }

thanks for the code sample. didn't know JS had a date object. then again there are lot of things I don't know ...
