Author Comment concerning R.SleepOver's "Client-side" timer

You may wish to consider using server-side code to accomplish this task. It
is much simpler and works well. I'll share some SSAS if you would like.

(As an aside, I've been working with FCS since first release. Thanks VERY,
VERY much to everyone involved in getting the new O-Reilly FCS book out!)

Well actually, Server-Side was an approach, but I had to code my timer
quickly, and quickly saw comments of problem with setInterval on SSAS.
So I ran for the obvious solution, which might not be the best : start a
timer remotely, and periodically send message with the master current time.
With this solution, having the server "mastering" the time is only
reducing the "upcoming time" load between the master and the server.

I'm currently thinking of a nicer way (but ... as long as you can't
setDate() in Flash ... no fcs-implemented NTP solution to come ...)
