[TriLUG] Uploading Race Info Automatically: question

[Carl Crider]

I need to auto upload race results from a race course.

Ok, here's the scenario:

This is for Slalom Skateboard racing. We have a timer that gives
us the times of each racer. That info is typed into a spreadsheet.
In order to save the timing guy from being hassled, there is a networked
PC in another tent. That PC has a 42" TV screen to show the racers where
they stand. [those PC's are windoze]

My goal is to get/capture this info onto my linux laptop and have it posted
to the web [maybe a blog] automatically. I want to try and take factor-X
out of the equation, because factor-X gets bored or hungry and walks away
from the laptop, forgetting to update the wesite. I am racing and don't have
time
to babysit the info either. Any ideas? I do have the webspace, and WordPress
space to use. We do have WiFi access for everything.

Thanks

Carl
