timezone

[troels knak-nielsen]

Thanks. If I understand the code correct, this will display the date
in the original format. However, since I collect feeds from various
places, what I really want, is to display dates in the timezone of my
own server. Meaning that I would need to first convert all dates to
UTC (As per the default venus behaviour), and then convert this to my
servers timezone. I'm a bit lost on how to do so though. Any
suggestions?
