Haskell Assignment

This is a Haskell program that reads a remote JSON instance of temperatures and UTC times, using Network.HTTP.Conduit, and places them into haskell data structures using Data.Aeson. Data.Acid is used to persist this data across instances, and a combination of Happstack and Text.Blaze is used to serve this persisted data to a web browser at http://localhost:8000

A simple css is used and served through happstack from './static/screen.css'
