O.P. [Request] Grab timezone, and display PSM accordingly?
I just thought of this a few moments ago. An english friend of mine said "You work at 5:00! You're late you know :P". I explained that it was 5:00 MY time (which was 10:00 hers).

Well here is my idea. Have a script that could possibly calculate the timezone (based on the computer time) of the person on the other end and display a personal message that contains times accordingly.

I like in Canada, and when its 5:00 pm here, its 10:00 pm in England (approx). I work 5pm-9pm most days, and have that in my personal message sometimes (usually in my display name tho).

Anyway, if I put "I work 5:00pm to 9:00pm, be back later" in my name, then this script would show "I work 10:00pm to 2:00am, be back later" for my english friends.

I have people all over the world, and its a hassle when they don't clue in right away because of time zone differences lol.

Is this possible??

If is not what you want, I think it would be a good start.

I might be reading your post wrong, but you can't display a specific psm for each contact.

Yeah, what I wanted was a dynamic time zone for each contact to see. That sucks that it can't be done, but I didn't think it could anyway.

Thanks for that link MicroWay :). Not what I am looking for, but still cool.
