Massively Parallel Procrastination

An untitled post

BoredNow progresses apace. Tonight, core functionality works. Ok. it's not tonight anymore. And I've come into some thorny problems. How do you handle the fact that users might be in all sorts of different timezones and you want to present things to them in their native timezone? It'd be easy _if_ you could tell when DST start or ended based on the Date headers of email they send. but you can't. But after a couple more nights, I might have enough done to make it worth sharing with a small fraction of the world. I need to write more text and clean up the basic code a little bit. And I suppose I should add one or two more "Convenience" features. and the all-important reminders cronjob. but that should get me to soft launch.
