Arduino: Standalone wifi http messenger message parsing

I've been asked a few times how I do message parsing in my sketch (as in how to I get the message from the http server into the code). I was going to edit the previous post but figured with it's compexity I may as well post another. I have to start by saying that this sketch does the most basic method of message capture you can. It works for a small number of cases, but the chances that people are going to get it wrong are slim because it only does one thing. It may help in reading this post to follow along with the code here.

Arduino: Standalone wifi http messenger (expanded version)

I've Had some interest in this post, so I'm writing up a longer definition detailing some of the ins and out of the arduino, where you can buy specific parts and how the parts fit together. Note if you already know about the Arduino and shields, you should jump straight to the "On the Code" section below.

Arduino: Standalone wifi http messenger

So I got an arduino and wishield the other day and was wondering what cool stuff I could do with it. Coupled with the lcd that I had as well I figured I may as well just combine everything into a funky little message screen.  I started off by getting the lcd working on the breadboard. This took a while in itself and I think by the end I must have known every pin on the board. This was pretty messy I was using wires I had cut out of a network cable and they kept breaking and pulling out of their sockets. A trip to my local jaycar electronics was in order.

[edit] Did have a link to it here but I turned it off.

Linux: Logitech G15 with Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty

This is another of those things that used to be quite difficult but due to the ongoing diligence of the coders is now awesomely easy.

Ubuntu: Wireless on the MSI U100 (wind) With Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty

It used to be fairly difficult to get the wireless working on any flavour of linux with this laptop. I bought mine with grand visions of wireless n and stealing the uni's wireless. This was not the case, with the 8187se chipset from realtek working badly in Windows and worse on linux. Thankfully going back to it now there is an easier way. NOTE BUT: This should only work with jaunty jackalope (9.04) that has the source driver in it's repository.
