Subject: Re: Real project -- general application structure

Hi Florian,

thanks a lot for pointing me out the existence of Eventmachine; I had
missed that one completely.

I was amazed to see how easy it is to structure the terminal
connections using EM. In less than 5 minutes after installing the gem
I could already handle connections and interpret the sensors data.

However, I realized that it was essentially the same that my original
code was already doing (excpet it is much cleaner and way cooler!). I
can easily talk to the remote units, but I still need to find a way to
display their momentary status on a web page (which should always
display up-to-date information, and be independent of full page
reloads on the browser).

What would you suggest; can I use EM to talk to my web server which
would be another application? Or perhaps open a pipe to it somehow?

Thanks a lot!

Ricardo.
