That's correct!

Everything in the preamble does not find a way to materialise in the  
body. You only see side-effects (font size, text width, etc.).

Heiko Oberdiek's code has one "executable:" \SourceFile. When it  
executes, it executes the \hypersetup (and overwrites variables'  
values, as mentioned before). \pdffilemoddate{} returns a date in a  
form like that: D:20090304121314+01'00', i.e., D(ate):YYYYMMDDHHMMSS 
+TZh'TZmin'. It's what PDF uses internally.

In the lines before the final \makeatother you can see variable names  
which should look familiar to you (\year, \month, \day, \time). You  
are using them for your time stamps. While these reflect the time of  
compilation, \SourceFile overwrites them with the last modification  
or save time of the source file. So, when you want to print the time  
of the source file's compilation, you should not use Heiko Oberdiek's  
code – or comment the "side-effect" code.

The four mentioned variables always exist and are initialised. \time  
contains the minutes since midnight – to easily distinguish between  
AM and PM, to whom it may concern! You could also use this:

	\newcount\hours
	\newcount\minutes
	\hours\time \divide\hours 60
	\minutes-\hours \multiply\minutes 60\advance\minutes\time
	\edef\timehhmm{\ifnum\hours<10 0\fi\the\hours
	  :\ifnum\minutes<10 0\fi\the\minutes}
	\newcommand\daytime{\edef\today{\today\,~\timehhmm}\today}

When you now put \daytime somewhere in your text body, the definition  
of \today is updated, then \today is executed and something like  
"<your \today definition> hh:mm" will be printed. You don't need the  
calc package – because you can calculate, presumingly, and TeX also.
