Okay. What you have to do is setup each image (or file) to mimic each day. 01.*
02.* etc. Then make your .htaccess file and put the following.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{TIME_DAY} >1
RewriteRule ^.*countdown\.png$ %{TIME_DAY}.png
Put the .htaccess into the folder where the images are. You do not have make an
image for countdown.png as it will auto redirect. The downfall to this method
is that you can only use it a month out. But, it works for what we need it to
do.
Now, what I have not tried 'yet' is to make the *.png redirect to a js file.
Maybe that will work I don't know.
Maybe ill try it when I get home and see it it will push a js. Worth a shot.

Wow, I couldn't have come up with this simple but perfect hack. I'll
replicate this on my server based on your .htaccess, and we'll
document this process to make it easy for others to adopt and use.
Let's also get that image script (the one I posted) going for future
use, as time permits.
