I did not want to name this FuzzyTime, I wanted to modify this to *work
with* FuzzyTime! 

FuzzyTime already exists; it's a plugin that acts as a screensaver and
time source for other plugins. Its purpose is to let users configure a
particular player to display time some minutes "fast" compared to the
real time. My wife likes to keep the bedroom clock set a few minutes
fast to help scare us into moving faster in the morning. I wrote
FuzzyTime to increase the odds of her approving another Squeezebox
purchase. :-)

The "FuzzyTime for other Plugin developers" section has more
information about modifying other plugins to support FuzzyTime in a way
that does not require FuzzyTime to be installed, and that will show
"normal" time if FuzzyTime has been disabled or not configured to "lie"
about the time for a particular client. Generally, supporting FuzzyTime
means replacing calls to TimeF() and time() with calls that use
FuzzyTime "public" APIs. Here's how simple it was to modify
SuperDateTime 4.x for FuzzyTime:
