Very useful, thanks a lot. Really helps to understand the innerworkings.

So, in a more daunting task than coding itself, I setup my first GitHub
repository with the code. 

It's a Copas addon that works on top of Copas, using the familiar step and
loop functions, except that it adds the capability to run timers at a
specific time or interval of your liking. It includes some code that checks
network connectivity at regular intervals and notifies if there are any
changes. Run the included test to get an idea of what it does.

Please check it out and let me know what you think, comments and suggestions
are welcome.
