Hey Paxxil,
Just wanted to say thank you. I heavily, heavily modified your script, and quite honestly learned more about PHP along the way than I every thought I'd know.

I'd offer up some of the changes, but I'm a total hack and wouldn't begin to know how to properly contribute.
That said, one of the things I've done is to create a static html page with cURL every couple minutes, and point my browser to it. The load time is instant, and I haven't found a downside yet.
So thank you again for a great script, and a great lesson, even if the latter wasn't your intent.
