This (very basic) website is hosted on an alarm clock

Now, it would be very nice if the website displayed the actual time on the alarm clock.<p>Or even better: what about streaming the video from a webcam pointing at the alarm clock?<p>Talk about meta...

A few years back (before the iPhone &#38; Android were out) I hosted a website on my Nokia N82 phone. Nokia enabled this by routing requests to the server on your phone via a URL hosted at '&#60;yourname&#62;.mymobilesite.net' (now discontinued).

I wonder how badly the "Chumby" name hurts their organic search.<p>Of the 18 comments currently on HN, discounting one explicit correction, we have 3 erroneous "Chumpy"s and 1 correct "Chumby".<p>It's a shame all the useful names are trademarked and we have to resort to synthetic alphabetic tags for the rest of eternity.

To be fair, this is not your grandpa's alarm clock, but a Chumpy. Though I'm sure <i>that</i> could be done too without too much trouble.

This alarm clock runs on a web server!

The Chumpy is a full featured computer with Linux running on a 454 MHz ARM processor used as an alarm clock !

<p><pre><code> Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at kwf.dyndns.org:5821. </code></pre> well, I guess that was expected for a website that is hosted on an alarm clock :)

Chumpy looks interesting (feel like I should have known about it before now)..but I find the choice between battery+cheaper vs stereo unfortunate. I'd consider a Chumpy One + Stereo (at a higher price)..but as-is, I feel the available options lacking.

Seems the alarm clock is turned off, because the website is down right now.
