This is Brilliant !!!!

For all Firefox Users ....

You *need* this add-on !!!!!

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1117

Fox Clocks !!! It lists across the bottom of my screen what time it is right now in any part of the world I want to look at.

I've got me, Claire and Kerry listed.  Now you US-based people - what time zone are you each in?  I get the whole Central vs US Central vis Pacific thing alll confused !!!!!!

Hmm, off to take a look but, does it get in the way??

Claire EJ said...

Ok, it's the coolest little gadgety thing...had no clue Brazil was only 3hrs behind...it just lurks as a miniscule earth shaped icon..thanks:)

Trish Froggatt said...

This is a cool gadget - I have no idea where anyone else is. We'll have to post a list or something. I am in Americas - Countries - Canada - Eastern Time - Ontario. Cheers

Nancy Murdock said...

I am in the Eastern time zone, what zone are you in Mel? Western Australia?

Melissa Hicks said...

LOL !!!! No I'm in Eastern Australia! NSW or Victorian time .....

Karen R said...

I'm the same as Nancy, Paula, numerous others, in Eastern. That is a great tool - I have them in as Mel, Claire, and Mariann, since you three are my main point of references outside of N. America :)

Melissa Hicks said...

OK so who in the US do we regularly talk to that is *not* in Eastern?

Sisu? Laura? Tracy? Donna?

Karen R said...

Tracy is Pacific; Laura and Donna are Central, I am pretty sure. Sisu is Eastern, also from the map I looked at.

Donna Williams said...

Yep, apparently I didn't get the same addon, but I'm in Central time. Your link isn't working for me and when I tried to reproduce it, it told me I'd goofed. So googled for Firefox addons, went to the Mozilla site and found something that gives me the three time zones I get most confused about at the bottom of the page.

Melissa Hicks said...

Hmm - this thing works the same way Teegs. I can just list as many as I want across the bottom of the page. The add-on is called: Fox Clocks.

So if I get this right Teegs - you are an hour behind Karen Paula and Nancy?

Donna Williams said...

Yep. I'm in what's called Central and am an hour behind Paula. Darned Q (cell phone) seems to think it's two hours behind, but by changing my location to match hers, the time is right now. Only thing I can figure is because it was off AND out of the country when we sprang forward, it hasn't kept up. My laptop did just fine, but my phone has been making me nuts!

Nancy Murdock said...

Yep, there are 4 time zones in US Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific. Sisu is in Michigan with me, so she is Eastern too

Melissa Hicks said...

Looks like everywhere (including West Australia) changed Daylight Savings status last night.

Except me !!!!!

No NSW and Victoria don't want to play by the same rules as the rest of the world - we need to suffer one more week ....... !!!!!!!!!!!

Melissa Hicks said...

Thanks Nancy,

I think I have it all straight now - maybe ?????

Karen R said...

Ordinarily, we would have last night, too, but no, we had to do it 3 weeks early. And I am still totally out of kilter.

Eastern Standard Time

Paula Hubert said...

I'll have to add this once I get home with my own laptop - All I have with me here is the work laptop, and if I install Firefox, they'll realize that I've managed to set myself up as an admin on this machine....

Paula Hubert said...

Ok - I've now got Claire, Mariann, Mel and Kerry going - it'll be so much easier! I can keep track of Teegs and Tracy pretty handily with just math. Thanks for pointing us to this one!
