[nycphp-talk] Debugging Remote Problem

I once had a problem where a client had their local computer's time  
zone set to someplace in China (the computer was in NY). This caused  
sessions to timeout immediately because the client clock was 13+  
hours a head of the cookie expiration. Now I keep my cookies valid  
for at least 24 hours, as a rough catch all. (Needless to say, that  
bug took a while to track down.)

Not sure if that's the issue, but if it's localized to one machine it  
might be a helpful tip.
