I probably misunderstood the core problem, but if I were to write a
piece of software where events relative to each other are important,
then I would probably get UTC time off an internet server. Then when an
event is created I would store it as a offset from the current UTC time.
Even if the user changes the clock, you still know when in UTC time that
event should occur.
