Day 43: Timezone Support for IndieNews #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Today I added support to IndieNews for storing and displaying the timezone of submitted posts. Previously, all the dates were stored and displayed as UTC, which can be misleading such as when a post is submitted after 5pm in Pacific time since the post then has the date of the following day in UTC.continue reading... -

Where was I when I took this photo?
My DSLR camera doesn't have GPS, so normally all my photos would not include the location of where I was when I took the photo.

I could get an external GPS unit for my camera, but that sounds cumbersome and would only work with that one camera.continue reading... -

Airplane Time! Stretch time while flying
Today in the middle of the flight from Portland to Amsterdam, I was unsatisfied with merely knowing what time it was in Portland and in Amsterdam.

@bmndr: It sure would be nice if the beeminder API had a timezone field as a UTC offset,as well as just a plain string (Australia/Melbourne)
@pjf @bmndr Yeah, converting between named zones and offsets is always annoying, best if APIs can provide it. I also made my timezone API return the offset in seconds, just for good measure! https://github.com/geoloqi/Timezone-API#example
