erlang?  NOOOOOO!

There are lots of possible solutions that would not require server uptime
or network access.

A technically simple solution would be a hacked appliance timer.

Another solution would be an Arduino coupled to a latching relay and an
accurate time source.  I mention that because  I need to learn how to
interface an arduino with an RTC for a different project I'm working on
anyway, so I'd be willing to implement that one if there is some support
for the concept and no one who hates it enough to disconnect it as soon as
it's set up.
