Hi. I'm the author of the article. And also of Elixir Tzdata and https://github.com/lau/calendar I recommend using Calendar instead of Timex.

I'm curious: Why where you using e.g. GMT+5 or GMT-5?

Maybe the application only allowed to configure GMT offsets, rather than timezones? I saw an internal application at work that did exactly this, and there was a predictable mess twice a year when DST started or ended.
