Do
you want to know if a friend has signed onto Skype, but don't want a
window popping up every time anyone has logged on? Do you want to be
notified when a long download has finished? Do you want to know the

make a "busy" light for your office that glows red when your calendar
says you're in a meeting?
You can do all four at once: you can simultaneously control as many
blink(1)s as you have USB ports. Have a 36-port USB hub? You can fill
it with 36 blink(1)s, each of which is showing a different piece of
information. [Kick
