Take a look in
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/scripts/sources.js
and search for "fillTime". You need to override that function with your
own, like so
Timeline.DefaultEventSource.Event.prototype.fillTime =
function(elmt, labeller) {
elmt.appendChild(document.createTextNode("...whatever you want
here..."));
};

Look in
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/scripts/timeline.js
for "scrollToCenter" and "setCenterVisibleDate". You need to get to a
band first, e.g.,
tl.getBand(0).scrollToCenter(Timeline.DateTime.parseIso8601DateTime("1984-12-29"));
Let us know if that works for you.
Cheers,
David
