Added Current Status Section
I added a new section to my main page this morning - current status.
It shows my current status information from
Jabber. I’m almost
always logged into Jabber when I’m online, so the information
there should be accurate.
The actual Jabber status request can take a few seconds to run,
and I didn’t want to slow down the loading time for this page.
So I wrote a seperate script (in
Python, of course) that
runs as a cron job every couple of minutes and writes my status
information to a text file. Then my home page reads the file.
Seems to work so far.
