Aha! So, you are the one who wrote that! Someone showed me a screen shot of it
and asked if I could do something like it for Synchronet. I'm honestly not sure
I can, lol. 

You did a really great job, I wanted to say kudos. Would you mind if I tried to
emulate what you did? Or, if your work is open source, would you mind if tried
to rewrite the whole thing from Python into Javascript and credit you with the
module? 

My post was basically because I was tinkering around to see if I could even
play with the data before I started attempting to write anything else.
