Nice to meet you there Kevin (on the forum). Historically I passed by at LHR working mostly in Europe but did stay in London for a couple of weeks a couple of years ago. My company set me up with an apartment and I walked to work every day. I enjoyed the short walk. The offices stretched a block or so across the street from Paddington Station in London.
The Chumby 8" screen resolution is 600X800.
I've left the base OS intact and have Python installed on it now to remote some of the HW functions (like dimming). It's utilizing an ARM processor at 800Mhz so not quite as fast as the Joggler; but it does well with whatever flash I've run on it. The nice piece is that is has a nice tabletop look to it and the sound is good for such a small device. I have multiple 3.5" and 8" devices. The 3.5" has only a 500Mhz Arm processsor but it does well. So far playing with two HA applications on it. One is a custom screen builder for XPL in which a LAMP server is configured with PHP; it does well. The other is a cutom flash just polling the web interface of the HA server. It also does descent. Both of these I configure with an XML file on either the LAMP server or the HA server. The base HA server is running a few XAP applications and an XAP hub. It interacts with Zonminder's (12 video feeds) ZMXAP application for security "stuff"; ie: trigger events and recordings.
