Ever noticed that though the times listed on your blog look right to you, since they are in your timezone, they are mostly useless to anyone in a different slice of the globe. My friend Stephen Paul Weber and myself, Trevor Creech, have made a brave venture to rectify this plague.
Using a cutting-edge technique proposed by Johan Sundström, we have WordPress output the Unix timestamp (an unfriendly number like ““, which also happens to be timezone-independent). We then use javascript which runs on the user’s computer to turn this ugly number into a very smoothly displayed date and time, synced precisely to the user’s computer clock. We make extensive use of the formatDate JavaScript library.
