I’m not a fan of AT&T, but as a true “wireless communicator”, it’s pretty rad. The iPhone’s little brother, the iPod Touch, is also pretty nifty and we have had great success using them for some things around here.

It's not currently broken up by day, but we'll have all the data we need to do that. ... actually, thanks for reminding me - I just checked and the script was recording waaaaay to many entries now that Brent made the iPod autorefresh. Gotta clean that up before the show opens! @Jessica - We’re recording the number of visitors in a database every time it changes.

One question I have is are you able to get a total count of the number of visitors who are seeing the show on a given day? If you are "clicking" people in and then "clicking" people out will you ever know the total number who saw the show on a given day at a given time? It seems that you are using this technology to monitor access into the gallery but not to show attendance figures. Are you using some other mechanism for that? This seems like a wonderful solution.
