Also, I was wondering about whether or not there was an "official" person posting updates because some of the tweets looked a little different. This is great news! I hope it's the beginning of a beautiful relationship. ;) Well, we’ll have cut your salary in half. ;)

With regards to the graphing, do you want to produce on demand web refreshable charts, or static files? My workflow would likely start with excel to model what data and what kind of graph / chart to go with. Colleagues at work are quite happy with an open source C# / .NET library called zedgraph.

Very intuitive, and lots of options for displaying multi-axis or multi-series data. Highly recommend xgobi over gnuplot.
