 The timezone for my Wordpress installation was reset to Abidjan sometime
 during or after the upgrade to Wordpress 2.9. Verified this occurred on
 three independent Wordpress installations. I noticed when I scheduled a
 post to come up at 05:00 today and it showed up as already posted on my
 site at 01:00.

 Also the process for selecting a timezone in the admin panel could use
 some serious work. I had to select about 10 cities before I found a one in
 the timezone I am located in (CST, Nashville, TN).  Ended up selecting
 Knox, IN. Shouldn't have to hunt and guess...

 Break up list by country, or GMT offset; not by continent. Also give a
 option to select by standard timezones for United States EST, CST, MST,
 PST...
