This annual infobahn tradition uses a hi/low-tech combo of LAMP'ed Redhat Web Servers, a 7+ year old Thinkpad running Ubuntu for the X10 control, and an old-school webpage design that could be politely described as Web 0.0 — wait until you see the sprightly cursor — D'OH! The site is free (and totally fun) as it also raises cognizance and alms for Celiac Disease — over $70,000 to the grounding mash of Maryland.
Nifty motion flicks* of the crazy saint nicholas display can be seen on the kriss kringle Blog (notice Clifford Stoll's The Cuckoo's Egg in post #220) plus watch videos of it in action with comedic history'
Nothing quite says santa like a giant, inflatable HULK wearing a Santa Hat... along with three wise men of Elmo, SpongeBob, and Homer Simpson. The Slashdot Effect of turning 21,000 kriss kringle lights ON & OFF this evening should provide quite a santa Eve show to Alek's neighbors... and also the International Space Station."
