 * Hi Mark,
 * I am loving your plugins and using them on our club site for saskatoonarsenal.
   com. Still building away. I am wondering if it would be possible to have the 
   countdown trigger an event when it reaches game time. Whether that be send an
   email or send off fireworks. I am looking to use it in conjunction with an attendance
   widget so that after the game starts or couple hours after the attendance for
   that team will reset. If you could even just point out where I could look to 
   see the countdown in action that would be helpful

 * Hey John,
    Nice to hear from you again. Your site has really come along since
   I saw it last!
 * Yes, I can see where an action like that would be helpful but … I can’t get at
   the operating system’s cron process, and my limited experience with the WP cron
   process tells me that there are some challenges with it. I will spare you the
   technical details, doesn’t really matter, but I’m not ready to take this on because
   I can’t see a reliable solution.
 * Regards,
    -Mark

 * Since this topic has had no activity for a month, I am marking it resolved. It
   is on the list for the next build. Please open a new thread for any further related
   issues.
