I'm currently playing with producing a smartwatch app (or apps) to show local time for Manticore, Gryphon, and Sphinx; obviously, if this ever goes any further than a purely private project, appropriate approval will be sought before any sort of sharing or publication.
One issue, at least at the spreadsheet stage of development is that 20th and 21st century based software isn't great at working on dates in what, to us, is the 40th century: most functions revert to a base of 1900CE, wrapping at the end of the 21st century. (Edit - Google sheets seems to be better on this)
I have a vague memory of some mention of a conversion of current dates to a roleplayed PD date - does anybody recall this, and possibly what the roleplayed dates were?
(Edit)
Also, here's a spreadsheet with my calculations - is there anyone interested in critiquing my figures?
