Writing a timer event (how to execute an event from time to time)

I thought that by adding a delay in the trigger of a "ready to write"
event I could simulate a timer. Sure, this timer would only be
triggered if the connection is ready to write on, but it would do the
work for me.

I believe my code dos not delay a response, instead, it only uses a
the "ready to write" event as a start point for the timer counter.

I did not follow that one. What is wrong? The way I choose to set the
"event timer per request"?
