Pivot it, add Sydney, Australia, and make it a spreadsheet instead of a graphic, and it will be something I can use with relief and glee! Otherwise, alas, not so much. The spreadsheet I use for scheduling runs vertically.

If you really think it'll help, I'm happy to - I was mostly messing around for my own interest (time is endlessly fascinating and endlessly confusing!) and thought it might be helpful, and then felt bad about posting because it felt like I was criticising.

(I'm now hard at work on the really magic version where you type the time and timezone into the spreadsheet and it spits out the right answer - although only for the limited timezones - I'm sure there are websites that do it better, but I haven't Made Them Myself ;) )

In fact, it would be lovely! I was afraid that my response would come across as snippy, and I'm immensely relieved that it did not. (If you're a fellow Excel geek, I'd be happy to send you a copy of the spreadsheet I use, although you may sigh over how rough it is. You'd think I'd take the time to build something a bit less bumpy, but noooo.)

I use Foxclocks in my browser as a baseline check, but I always manage to get something mucked up when the time changes. Most of the websites will do one time, one location at a time, and that's it -- not the best approach for a group that never has fewer than six time zones in play! I think the most I've ever had going at once was nine.
