Microsoft Time Zone - Great when working as part of a remote team

Published 12/19/2006 by Mitchell Harper

Being the modern day software company that we are, we hire and work with a lot of talent outside of our Sydney and Nashville offices. We've just hired Alex - a great new PHP programmer - and I'm working with him while he finishes WebEdit NX. Anyway, today I realized that I'm always asking the members of our team who aren't in our offices "what time is it there?", so I decided to fire up Google and find a decent tool that would sit in my system tray and show me the time in various locations around the world.

Normally I use timeanddate.com but I didn't want to have to start FireFox just to see the time. After a quick Google search I came across "Microsoft Time Zone". It's a great little tool for managing and viewing multiple time zones so I just wanted to take a quick 2 minute break to write this blog and share it with you. I know we have lots of people reading our blog that outsource or work in remotely located teams so I hope the tool helps you as much as it helps me :)

I've been using a program called Qlock for this for a while now. Might be worth a look as well.
