@interface NSTimer (NoodleExtensions)

/*
 Creates and schedules a timer which will *not* adjust its fire date when the machine is put to sleep or if the clock
 is changed. It will fire on the given date to the best of its abilities. If the time has somehow passed (the fire date
 occurred when the machine was asleep or the clock was suddenly set to a time past the fire time), the timer will fire
 immediately upon wake/clock change.
 
 Note that calling -setFireTime: may not work properly on this timer. A new timer should be created if you wish to have
 it fire at a different time after initial creation.
