When travelling with your laptop or iPhone across time zones, it can be inconvenient to have to log out and then back into LiveTimer in order to force it to recognize the time zone change. Therefore, we've begun checking your time zone every time you start or stop the timer.
In order to identify your time zone, LiveTimer checks with your browser, which in turn checks your operating system. Unfortunately, some browsers, such as Firefox, seem to cache the time zone once they've been started. Therefore, it may be necessary to close and reopen your browser for changes to your operating system's time zone to be recognized by your browser.
We've confirmed that dynamic time zone recognition works in the following platform / browser combinations:
- iPhone / iPod Touch: Safari
- Mac: Safari 3.2, Fluid 0.9.5
- Windows: Internet Explorer 7
If you travel quite a bit, consider using LiveTimer from one of these browsers. After all, jet lag is enough to worry about!
