Hi there, I'm setting up a small web app that will allow players to see the other player's availabilities. The goal is to quickly see which players are "synchronized" to allow faster games, or to see when a player will be available.
You can see it on v.ripoll.free.fr/VTES/JOLTZ.html (don't forget to reload the page because your browser may cache it).
For a start I will manually add players, so just send me a line here or at v.ripoll{at}gmail{dotcom} using the following format:
<player name>, GMT<+-X>, <first time span>, <second time span>, ..., <nth time span>
with time spans using the <hh:mm-hh:mm> format.
Eg. Ankha, GMT+1, 10:00-12:00, 13:00-18:00
You can prefix the time span with the letter 'u' to mark it as 'uncertain'.
You can also prefix the time span with 'we' to mark it as 'week-end'.
If you don't prefix any time span with 'we', your time spans are considered valid for the whole week (including week-ends)
If you have at least one time span prefixed with 'we', your unprefixed time spans are considered to be valid from monday to friday.
The time span must use your local time.
How does it work?
The red line indicates NOW (in your current time zone).
Players that are available now (given the availability time ranges they gave) are highlighted in green.
Ex.
On the current image, Ankha, Blooded, Klaital and Jhattra are available right now. Cooper's availability is uncertain as he have various availabilities, but we can see that he's GMT+1 by hovering with the cursor over his name.
The time displayed is the time of my own time zone.
As we can see, those players share a large common availability time range, it's probably a good idea they play together

Doesn't work on Android at all and probably not on Linux either.

Mac OS works fine with Silverlight.
www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
Macintosh OS 10.5.7+ (intel-based)
Firefox 3.6+
Safari 4+
Moonlight works on Linux as well.

Silverlight has no support for phones or tablets (except Windows based tablets).

Last time I checked on linux, it worked badly enough to make the computer crash. And even on windows it was not all that cracked up. It somehow used even more memory than Flash while being a lot less used.
Then again, if it work for enough player, good enough. Ankha is not being paid for this, it's already kind enough to actually do this.
Well, the day JOL will work on Android, I'll start to bother to make it work on Android too
On linux, it should work. I don't use any fancy feature.

Mine is a bit all over the place, but I can usually guarantee:
GMT+10
Local: 1600-1900, 2100-2300
Before 1600 my work timetable changes day by day, workplace by workplace.

You do have to Install Silverlight, for Silverlight to work.
That isn't problem with the site.
That's a problem specific to your machine.

Yes, it's like Flash, you need to install the plugin, which is trivial on Windows Systems (in your case, just click on the "Install Silverlight" button, and follow instructions).
As Silverlight is a Microsoft product, there's absolutely no risk for your computer.
For other operating systems (Mac or Unix), there are some plugins that make Silverlight applications work, but I'm no specialist in that.

It's TOTALLY off-topic, but this statement made me laugh.

Really? I have no problems scrolling on my Droid tablet. Worked in Honeycomb, Icecream Sandwich and Jelly Bean IIRC. That the main page starts on the top and I have to scroll all the way to the bottom is a pain (it is often very far down). Also, typing commands from a virtual keyboard gets old fast.

Well, if you're using Windows, you already know the risks But I meant it's not some obscure thrid-party product.
