title: Display server time on client in Meteor
body: <p>Using Meteor, what would be an efficient way to keep a running clock (h:m:s) on the client that displays the server's time? </p>
  
  <p>The JavaScript/PHP answers I've found typically involve getting the server time periodically and calculating the difference between that and the client. </p>
  
  <p>What would that look like with Meteor?</p>

Install it by running <code>meteor add mizzao:timesync</code> in your console.</em></p>
