The way it works is all client side. The session on the server side
determines the timer on the client side. It's updated on every page
load, so server and client are just loosely coupled. Doing an ajax
request to check for timeout would itself refresh the timer because
it's a "page load", i.e. it loads init.php.

I like the countdown, that way I don't have to type my login
information if I catch it early enough. Much more convenient.

Hope that somehow answered your questions. Let me know if something is
still unclear.
