Take data (in XML form) from a logger (hooked up to a  solar<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt; panel on the roof of a  building in this case), run it over a<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt; private LAN to a dedicated box that would have to be set up as a<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt; web server (setup is part of the job).<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt;<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt; 2. Create a Flash app that will visualize the logger-data in a TBD<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt; way (but definitely kid friendly) and publish a publicly<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt; accessible page (served from the private box) that is also linked<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt; from the company web site.<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt;<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt; Some graphic design has been settled, but asset creation will be<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt; part of the process, as will a lot of on-site debugging.<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt;<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt; I know the Flash people have mentioned starting at $65-$80\/hr for<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt; this kind of thing (and going up from there depending on the<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt; project), but I have no idea what the rate for setting up the<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt; server box would be in conjunction with the Flash app.<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt;<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt; Thank you very much for any thoughts.<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt;<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt; Daniel<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt;<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;&gt; &#8212;<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;<br \/>\n&gt;&gt;<br \/>\n&gt;&gt; &#8212;<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt;<br \/>\n&gt; &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>                     .. sasha harris-cronin ..<br \/>\n.. sasha@mortalspaces.com .. 415.516.2049..<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I agree.
