Make hourly job more reliable against drift #240

Since setInterval (and less so setTimeout) are not guaranteed to run exactly after the specified time they can start to drift after a bit. This implementation does calculate the next runtime of the everyhour job after every run to make sure that a drift is not affecting it.

Thx for this! On the road right now, so will merge later. Were you able to test it for a while? Does it help with the issue you have?
