The easiest way to load the Mysql Time Zone tables from your Mac OS time zone fields is via this command:

mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -u root mysql

However, on many systems like mine that will fail because some of the time zone information is incompatible with the database schema for the time zone tables.

Therefore, you'll want to load the time zone information into a text file and edit it to only include the time zones you need. (Or, attempt to find the data breaking the import.)

mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo > zone_import.sql

After dropping my son off at football practice, I attempted to work at Panera Bread for a bit today but the wifi was horribly slow. Sadly, my tethering was unable to bail me out this time because of the poor connection my phone was getting. I packed up and drove down the road to the library. Been meaning to try it anyway.

It's a nice new library. Very modern with all the newest amenities and in great condition. I attempted to use the wifi but it required a username and password. I inquired at the 'Information Desk' and was guided over to another desk to get a library card. Signing up for a card was in itself inefficient, as I had to both present my driver's license and enter the information from it onto another card. Really?

Once I had my new library card, with a password (never had a library card before that required a password) I went back to the information desk. Here I was told that I now had to get signed up for the wifi into a different system and then, an even more bizarre process was explained to me
