It is an active desktop. Heā€™s just using http headers (at least that is what they are called in ASP) to post to a web page. ---

PHP doesnā€™t refresh automatically (it is server-side) but you could have a javascript refresh the page every second. It isnā€™t that hard to do, you just need a host that supports PHP or ASP. ---

Itā€™s just php right now but I have to recreate it in flash! So the seconds would tick! Php does not refresh itself! I could use javascript to refresh the page but then I would hear that clicking sound and the page flashes white for a second, etcā€¦ anyway the result is pretty unpleasant! No that is not a swf desktop, that is just a regular desktop my man! ---
