Bus tracker feed expanded

[davidn]

Don't fall asleep with excitement, but - remember when I posted about the Massachusetts department of transportation making some of the bus locations available to people? They added twelve more routes to the trial feed last week, including one that Whitney uses to get to work. So I spent an evening working altogether too hard on the bus arrival time tracker that I'd previously done up for it - it's now been included in its own section on my site. You can give it a try here, for example:

http://www.clickteam.info/davidn/mbta.php?stopId=927&routeId=66&update=true

I haven't really made the Javascript updating very robust yet, which is why it's still only an option in the URL (it just counts down from whenever the page was loaded, without checking the actual feed again) - but it looks nice!

I feel the need to inform you that I am totally going to steal "don't fall asleep with excitement".
