Add override for timezone #19

Closed seanmtracey closed 8 years ago

seanmtracey commented 8 years ago

Currently, we base our Big FT clocks on the system time, but this clock on the computers could be wrong, meaning the times we display - of the computers own timezone and all of the others - will be wrong.

It may not be possible to update the system clock, so we could have an override in the URL that explicitly sets the time zone, which we could then use to check the the time against an NTP server.

We decided to skip this.
