Still GMT/TZ issues with CVS

It was showing the correct times, but it was incorrect about the minutesleft. I did the following to event.module and it started being correct.

if (variable_get('event_timezone', '1')) {
# $starttime -= $user->timezone;
}
else {
# $timezone = variable_get('date_default_timezone', 0);
# $starttime -= $timezone;
}
$minutesleft = floor(($starttime - time()) / 60);

OK, I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but my calendar thinks that the current time is 7 hours ahead of what it actually is. I don't have any bugs when it comes to adding events, and changing timezones and stuff don't help.

Site is at www.cass.ubc.ca and I'm in the GMT-8 timezone locally, however the server is GMT-5.

Has anyone figured this one out? Not just the time left part, but the whole issue around things being off by your displacement from GMT? I enter an event as 1930 (7:30pm) and when I save and view, it comes up at 3:30pm. If I edit the item again, say to update the description, the time is updated again and occurs in the morning now...

I'm still learning my way around Drupal and PHP, otherwise I would offer to debug and submit a fix. Who knows though, maybe I will give it a try, how hard can it be?
