kindle as a server monitoring screen - monitoring

I saw someone using a kindle to display server load/stats.
It's all text such as page response time and # of current active users.
How should I go about creating a such display on kindle?

Background process for mobile device tracking web site

I am working on a web site for emergency service workers that would also track the position of each person from thier Mobile phone with thier permission when they log on.
I am able to open a web page and using JS and PHP write away the coordinates of the user to a mysql database then display the result on a google map using API
The problem is that I need to run the saving of the coordinates in the background, as if the user moves to a new page and loses focus of the page writing the data or auto lock kicks in on the mobile (ie goes to sleep) the writing of the data stops
I have tried working with 'web workers', but they seem to NOT allow PHP code so I cannot write away the coordinates to MySQL
Any suggestions for how I might be able to run a background process that writes the data to MYSQL even when focus is lost or device goes to auto-lock, I can stop the process when a close indicator is made in the database stopping the incident tracking so it does not run for ever
Any ideas most welcome

Blank banners displayed in MC and Top

My client Land Rover DE (71640) has some supplied 3rd party HTML banners in place. These are being displayed blank in MC and Top for everyone.
In design tool and a sandbox I used to check the code they have been displayed properly a few days ago, but cant be displayed any more now. And the client is claiming they are working on their side.
When I got myself retaregeted yesterday in a life environment, the banners were blank as well, but we could see some clicks when the campaign was live.
When checking the banners I can see that the server is not responding to us
enter image description here
But the client claims it is alright from their side.
They do have geolocation filters for Germany in place.
And the tags are set up in a way that they only fire when someone clicks the banner.

Loading a html 5 page within iOS app

We are currently building an iOS app and we need to get it submitted asap, however, one of the features are not quite ready so I am thinking as a temporary measure to put in a button which when clicked opens an external page with a html 5 web page within the app and the user can fill in their data and continue within the app as if they never left.
Obviously there will be some minor difference between the web page and the actual app but the key is we don't want people leaving the app, I just need the html 5 page to load inside the app so the user gets a good experience.
Is this possible and what is the best way to execute this?

is it possible to get notification from browser when page is loaded completely?

if I want to design an iPhone app to do this monitoring, is it possible? such as open the app and input web address, the app can call safari's function to request and render the webpage, so that i can monitor the page load event in the app. How can I achieve that?
or
create an app that monitors the time taken to load a web page by any browser on iPhone. let suppose i have button in my app on clicking the button my app will start monitoring the other apps, now if i start safari(or any browser) and try to open web page, than the time taken to load web page must be calculated by my app. is it possible to do??

Check for active users in rails if the users stays in one page and dont click through the app

I am trying to build an rails app and trying to see what users are online. I know how to implement the method to show online users if the user clicks through my app, but lets assume that my app is only 1 page, so there are no links to be clicked. How would I track the users online without the user having to click anywhere? Also i if the user has been idle for 15 min i will need to update the status to idle instead of online and if the user closes the browser or navigates to another page the status goes to offline.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Presumably they interact in some way with the page (ajax perhaps?) so you'll need to detect those interactions and use them to determine if the user is idle or not. You could use javascript's onbeforeunload to determine when they have left the page.
I'd suggest to make AJAX pings to your server side like:
$.get( '/user_activity/ping' );
You can do it automatically using JS Timers or explicitly when the user interacts with the page some how.
