This uses FlipClock

I use this to power my site for live events: http://live.dr-chuck.com/

It sets a countdown timer and then refreshes the page dynamically and when the time arrives sends those
watching to a designated page. It does some tricks to skew the users refresh times so servers won't crash too badly even if there are a few thousand people watching the countdown timer. If you think about it a bit, you don't want perfectly synchronized refresh cycles or this will look like a Denial of Service :)

You need to edit the file `setup.php`

I have not made the program completely reconfigurable - feel free to send me a PR if you improve it or make it more generic.

(I apologize for the quality of the code as I wrote this in a great hurry)
