Oh what a funny answer from a Tesla Member! Karma goes up to the sky 
Maybe GoForSmoke or someone else can - for dummys only - explain how to use and set the pointer in
time_t time ( time_t * timer)
this would be a great help since arduinos documentation about pointers
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Pointer
is sparse.
btw Im using Arduino 1.6.9, board Nano ATMega 328 processor
