Why are you waiting for the ENS crowd?  Do it yourself...

If you have root access to your own machine, simply edit
/etc/TIMEZONE.  The changes should be intuitively obvious to even the
most casual observer.

If you don't have root access, change it yourself with a simple
	setenv TZ PST8PDT
	    -or-
        TZ=PST8PDT; export TZ
statement in your appropriate dotfile.
