Yes, I made a devilish, mad scientist laugh this morning. Why? Because I finally got my LED-on-a-stick to work. w00t! Double w00t! w00t w00t!
The guys who make the pole sent me the the complete docs on it and it was a simple matter to hack up a couple perl scripts to get stuff on my pole. As it stands now, I have weather info for 12 cities and stock quotes for 8 stocks scrolling by on it. Not much, but not too bad considering I should have been packing for PHX.
I snapped a pic and wrote up some stuff on it if you want more info.
