Try: (warning - written in Mail, untested, use at your own risk, etc.)

NSCalendarDate *now = [NSCalendarDate date];
int hour = [now hourOfDay];
int minute = [now minuteOfHour];

Alternately, this will work in Tiger and later, and is probably more 
future-proof:

NSCalendar *cal = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
NSDateComponents *hourAndMinute = [cal components:NSHourCalendarUnit 
| NSMinuteCalendarUnit fromDate:[NSDate date]];
int hour = [hourAndMinute hour];
int minute = [hourAndMinute minute];
