Not too long ago we had a rather prolonged discussion about whether
political stuff like this appropriate for this forum. While a formal

that this stuff is better discussed elsewhere. Someone even went so

Yeah, that wearable computer guy in Seattle or Toronto I think.
Interesting idea, but pointless. If you go to buy a 1/5 of Jack Daniels

Just a thought...
If you are not looking for deep instrumentation, but merely an alarm system.
a near-zero budget idea would be to pick up those dial-type units that
measure temperature and humidity. I see them all the time at flea markets
and thrift stores for $5 or less. Epoxy very small
Oh and for reference a single temp point + single humidity point would be...
$424 + S/H (about $8) - can be expanded to 4 T/H points, hackable for
switch closure etc.
Save you shipping and handling if we meet somewhere for you to pick it
up; company is in Bow, NH, I live in Merrimack, NH.

This email could be of interest to people interested in the
Perl programming language. I know that in Toronto there is a
good-sized overlap between Linux people and Perl people (we
occasionally hold joint sessions of our user group meetings)
