Correct which means worst case you could drift +/- 7 secs/day which
most would consider unreasonable.

If you upped from 100hz to 1khz then you'd reduce it to +/1 .5 ms per
minute which
would get you +/-.7sec/day worst case drift. Possibly reasonable for a
clock
with only 1 minute resolution.

You could also involve one of the Atmegas programmable timers and
temporarily
attach the 1pps calibration source to one timers control lines. You
might be
able to obtain even better results. You'd probably have to implement
the trim routine
in assembly code.

But Michail made a very good point. Perfecting the software could take
allot of time, and
even if you are coding to learn, you have to put a price on how much
time you spend
on what's only one aspect of getting your entire clock completed

PS) I'm using a TXCO on my most recent clock :)
