when the user surfs your pages you update their logged in timestamp
then it's always updated with the last time they were asctive on your
page, then you setup a cronjob or something else to check weather or
not the users has been active in a given interval like 1 hour. This
method will still have somekind of uncertainty. I still think there
are many other ways (better?) to do it.
