My Ambient Orb has arrived.
I purchased an Ambient Orb online from Ebay for only $40. They said that it did not work, but I plugged it in and everything seems to work correctly. It is pretty neat looking. Since someone owned it before me I have to wait and get the password chagned from their site inorder to configure it myself. They have several free datasets that it will sync with, but if I pay a monthly subscription, I can send it my own data with a php script. Hopefully I can talk them into giving me the 3months free that comes with a new purchase.

Hi, i have one of those ambient orbs. I'm trying to figure out how to get it to change color based on how many site visits or feedback comments i have received for the day. I'll let you know what i figure out, its hard to find info on that, I'm not a developer. let me know if you know how this is done.
I want to get my moneys worth!

I did this for someone by adding a 1x1px image to their website that was located on my server
That way whenever their website loaded, i would see it in my own server logs.
