 * There may be a bug in the handeling of timezones. What are your timezones set
   to in WordPress?

 * mine is set to new york.
 * the difference in time is consistent with the plugin using gmt time and not my
   wordpress set time

 * Timezone handling within WordPress is still more of an art, rather than a science.
   I’ve spent several tens of hours implementing a test suite (built on PHPUnit,
   for those interested) that I’m hoping will help resolve this issue.
