I was wondering if it's possible to have a little program
that would sit and watch for streaming data on a browser
page, then grab it and put it out onto a serial port?

can someone give me a clue about where to get started on this?

I was thinking of using a pic based machine to grab weather data from
the internet, and then rf it around the building to other displays.

That's grab it from the serial port from a little program that grabs it from
a streaming page...

thanks
