When To Chat: Reconcile Time Zone Differences

Re: When To Chat: Reconcile Time Zone Differences
#32I tried some major cities around the world and it’s hit or miss. E.g. Beijing, Shanghai, Seoul and Sidney are all missing. Edit: Okay, the locations are fetched from Google Map’s auto complete service, with only the top five results, so when I enter say Beijing I get unhelpful results like some Beijing Pie House in Alhambra, CA. Probably want to limit to cities if possible, no one is entering local street/establishme…
> Sidney
If you're thinking of the city in Australia, it's Sydney. Probably explains why when you search for Sidney it comes up with small towns in USA.

I really like https://everytimezone.com
It's what I've been using for years.

#35Reminds me of a postmortem of I think it was Carmageddon, some game anyway. In it they mentioned that the programmers were all in Australia, and the management and the rest were in the UK, and that arrangement was just perfect because they'd all be online at the same time.

#36Nice tool.
I personally use https://spacetime.am (no affiliation, just like it).

#38My home and my office are not on different continents, so I'm not sure why this is handy of WFH specifically. :)
Mine sometimes are. ;)

It's good to check, because different places switch to and from daylight savings time on different dates, so you're not always the same number of hours apart during the transition!
I've missed meetings before because of that: "I was there, where were you?" "I was there too! Where were YOU?"

#40The user interface seems to assume someone isn't awake across midnight, which doesn't make much sense to me; like, if you want to try to coordinate a meeting with me, and you expect me to be functional during it, it really needs to be scheduled between 2pm and 4am, but I can't enter that time range due to how this slider works :(. (Speaking of which, it is nearing 5am, so I should probably start heading to sleep.)
I know what you mean! I'm always awake through midnight. The slider range should turn "inside-out" when you drag the end time to the left of the start time.
