As one of the sub-terrarium inhabitants, I was aware that services like IFTTT existed, but I have not seen them used.

So I will be following your progress with interest.

Great write up and introduction to IFTTT. I am sure you know this and I am looking to inform others about IFTTT uses. IFTTT is not for real time events. Scheduled events are great, but if you want to flip a switch and have a light come on, then IFTTT is not for you. There will be a lag that is very noticeable. For what you are using it for and what [mention:a168e5354b394dc6b489e7f40d9cba74:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] mentioned to use it for, it is great. Every tool has a function it does well and you have shown IFTTT use well.

Also I like the slide shows. Time to step up the game, because that looks very nice and cuts down on the scrolling for your posts takes for the information conveyed.

great post, I also was thinking of using IFTTT, but dataflow is opposite to your application.

Some information on the web (weather, blog likes, etc.) needs to be sent to my edison in order to be displayed on the nixie tubes.

With Node-RED I can get weather data form weather underground, but I'm still looking for a method to get arbitrary info from web sites (blog posts) to the edison.
