Because Twitter always returns the time as UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) we try and align things better with the user by querying their profile and grabbing the offset that they've entered and adding (or subtracting) it to get the correct local time.

This means if you're away from home and exercising you might want to change your profile time-zone to correctly match where-ever you are.

If gtFtr also starts reporting things happening at the wrong time... check your time-zone setting.

Also be aware that if you restrict your profile/messages to only your friends, and you've not made gtFtr one of your friends then we won't be able to see your time-zone setting and will have to use UTC.

Of course, there has to be a better solution for those one-day trips or when you want to catch up and enter yesterdays workout...

If you prefix the workout information with the date and time (at the moment format is quite strict mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss - the :ss are optional, sorry about the US format... it's on the list of things to look at) then it will record the exercise as having happened then as opposed to the timestamp on the Twitter message

@gtFtr 12/14/07 10:30 Situps 3 sets 12 reps # a nice mid-morning workout

as always spaces and formatting are important.
