[skytee], desirous by Tom's essay on Make 11, done a steampunk bandwith meter:
Since we've got essential element visual intertubes at home, we longed for a large pewter guess revelation me how large my siren was. And that's the thought of my TorrentMeter
How does it work?
Bandwidth information is pulled from a Linux router, filtered down to the aim information using 'grep', and sent over the sequence connection by a Perl script. Since the scale itself is only watchful for sequence data, alterations to the router's scripting make it easy to act for a tally of unread emails, tweets, or whatever information your ethics can scrape..
