I embarked on another voyage to find a shapefile containing all the boundaries for the zoneinfo rules… Lo and behold, with a little digging, I found it! This is going to save me a ton of trouble. Now I have to spend a few evenings coming up with JavaScript to read directly from tz itself, so that the Widget can update itself whenever time zone rules change (as has happened in Caracas recently).
I’m aware that the images on the site are broken. This happened when I botched an update to WordPress. Sorry about that; I’ll have it fixed eventually. Luckily I held on to the original PSDs.
There’s some cool stuff in the pipe in addition to World Clock Pro 3. I also have some neat ideas for more posts to this blog, so stay tuned for that!
And lastly, I’m sorry about the lack of news. I’ve been working on a transition from an engineering position at Yahoo! to that of a designer, so I’ve been rather busy both at work and at home.
