For anybody who's wondering, though, this doesn't mean anybody else needs to use Python since (as I think the plan so far goes) we're putting a MySQL database between the hardware-monitoring server and any potential user interface.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ionsurfing.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9157686&amp;post=121&amp;subd=ionsurfing&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
