Hi Grant,
If I have a note + custom alarm date set for Today at 3PM, when
does the alarm fire?
I'm interested in understanding...
+ How the time zone I picked for the calendar canvas affects the
alarm time zone.
+ How changing that time zone affects the alarm.
+ How my system clock affects the alarm.

[Background: When you first launch Chandler, Chandler sets its
default timezone to be your system timezone. The only way to change
that default timezone is by changing the dropdown in the calendar: In
particular, if you change your system timezone, Chandler doesn't
change].
If you set an alarm, it's set in Chandler's current default timezone.
This is true even if you haven't enabled timezones (i.e. we don't
create the alarm with a “floating” timezone).
If you change Chandler's default timezone, the alarm time isn’t
converted to the new timezone.
While double-checking at this, I noticed a detail view bug: The alarm
doesn't display in the new default timezone ... i.e. if you set it
for 3PM while in America/New_York, then change the default to America/
Los_Angeles, then it still says 3PM (even though it’s going to fire
at noon in your new timezone).
