I don't always remember what time zone some people are in, and there are many occasions when knowing this information would be convenient. I propose a bounty:
I'll give someone a six-pack if they'll write me an irssi plugin that lets me associate time zones to hostmasks so the user's local time will appear when I /msg them on IRC. statico: course, then someone irc's in from a box the other the world to where they actually are that's why statico will have a /set_tz $nick $tz
Irssi would read in the TZ
environment variable or something, then I'd enter a few settings:
/set_tz someguy -800
When I get a private message, I'd like to see:
>>> Irssi: Starting query in FreeNode with someguy >>> Local time is 8:06 AMhonk
I'd be satisifed if the configuration file was a simple file, say ~/.irssi/timezones
.
