So, I received my previously-mentioned iButton gear, and have bodged it onto my Windows machine. (not yet the Linux laptop that shall be hiding under the couch) I have a tiny C app and some Ruby glue in place to send the current temp via SSH to a Ruby script on the webserver. This script drops the current time and temperature in place in the little box you should see in the upper left. If you do not in fact see this box, well, there you go. It's obviously the fault of some wacky scripting language.

You'll notice that I live in what appears to be a super-temperate region of Washington, DC. After my prior kvetching about freezing my buttocks off, you'll think my people come from the surface of the sun. Well, we do, but it's been a few generations, and we've acclimated.

No, this temperature is of the iButton dangling right behind my exhaust fan on the PC. It's pretty toasty, being jammed back there, and there it will remain until I either rewire a longer cable, or move the iButton to the stinkpad. I'm sure you're not looking at this page to plan your attire for the day, and if you do, I'm sure you'll not hold me responsible for the hypothermatic lump of ice you shall soon become.
