I've been puzzled by date(1) giving weird results
when setting TZ to values unknown by zoneinfo.
As far as:
$ TZ=Fake date
Tue Sep 27 14:06:32 Fake 2011
It would be more helpful if the command raised an error
or warning about "unknown" timezones rather than giving
random dates.
It's particularly anonying when the same TZ _reported_
by the command isn't recognized in input:
$ date
Tue Sep 27 16:08:13 CEST 2011
$ TZ=CEST date
Tue Sep 27 14:08:13 CEST 2011
Thanks for making a clock available for everyone, btw :)
