In a previous thread on the subject a developer stated that TinySBS was supposed to be checking in with MySB.com every so often, but this doesn't seem to be happening.
You don't actually have to connect with the outside world to update the time. The Touch's RealTimeClock (RTC) is quite accurate, all you have to do is copy the RTC to the system clock (which is a program running on the processor, so its accuracy is dependent on the processor clock, which is not so great) every so often. Unfortunately the RTC is NOT battery backed up, so when ever power is removed the RTC needs to be set. An applet to do this would be very easy, lua has a timer function which is used in many applets so it could easily be used to copy the RTC to the system clock say every hour. The big problem is that the RTC will have to be set when the system clock gets updated from connecting to an external server. That's probably going to take a patch to existing code. Which could be loaded via the patch installer.
