I have a script written that parses this website to get the sunrise and sunset times:
<http://aa.usno.navy.mil/cgi-bin/aa_pap.pl>

It works just fine but it is is an example script so you will need to modify it to do stuff like set the screen brightness... :-)

If anyone wants it let me know and I'll mail it to you, it's a bit too involved to post here.

Considering that the planet orbits the star flopped on its side is there
some way to access an online database to tell me when the sunrise/sunset is
for the day in question?

For example, I could say (pseudocode):

if timeOfDay > 0600 OR < 1800 then set screenBrightness to hotScreen
if timeOfDay > 1800 OR < 0600 then set screenBrightness to coldScreen

This scheme might work on a boring unfloppy planet but not this one.

As a flight of fancy, Apple needs an appendage to its timeserver that sets
the screen brightness according to the longitude of the entity. Cool, huh?
