Hi George,

Those look like cool links.  I plan to review them a bit later.

Coincidentally, the May 2013 issue of Nuts and Volts magazine has an article about a raspberry pi based temperature monitoring system.  I was able to view the article online.  I think some parts of the magazine are restricted if you're not a subscriber (and I'm not).  However, this part seemed to work ok.  I found out about the article when I bought the paper magazine.
