*thread shocked back to life*
since this timer i'm writing is based on NSDate, it's effected if the
computer's clock is manually changed... that i don't mind, because who
really need to ever manually set their clock on the computer...
however, i'm concerned that if (probably when) my timer is running
during a daylight savings shift it will add/subtract an hour... i
guess there's no avoiding this? or maybe apple took this into account
and therefore currently running code is not effected by a daylight
savings shift?
