whipped up that does some timezone work. best way, is to use
_javascript_ to get the time of the browser, set that timezone
offset as a cookie on the users browser, then access that
with the cookie. whatever you call it variable name in cf, and
do the time changes that way. i had to use it extensively on our
site, www.navtrak.net, since we have clients whose vehicles
report in other time zones than where our servers are located, on the
east coast.
so, if you have any other questions i can probably help.

I use the AT TIME ZONE functionality from SQL, it even
compensates for daylight savings time:
testDB=> select '2003-12-31 12:00:00' AT TIME ZONE 'cet';
timezone
---------------------
2003-12-12 12:00:00
testDB=> select '2003-07-31 12:00:00' AT TIME ZONE 'cet';
timezone
---------------------
2003-06-12 11:00:00
