[Swansea Hackspace] Raspberry Pi - kiosk mode

[Emyr Morris]

Got the screens up and running yesterday - all looking very good and the
chippy owner is chuffed.

The more I think about it an AJAX solution will probably be the best long
term.

I'll have to get my head around jquery to get the best text effects. I have
been using jquery for about 5 years, but I still prefer to write the JS
myself than use it for the simple stuff.

He is only half way through the refurbishment program, once the ceiling is
done I will take some photos and share them.

Thank you for the words of wisdom, all good stuff and food for thought.
