I just got this Chumby thing for Christmas. I was thinking of writing a StackOverflow widget for it. Does anyone know any caveats to programming this, or especially good things for chumby virgins to know? I have not yet begun to do my research. I guess it's just a Linux device which runs java widgets.

Ugh. Flash. Now I have to find a free flash compiler and stuff. I'm starting at close to 0 with Flash...

FlashDevelop works quite well and is free; it's a .net application for Windows.

Wow, I thought you said chubby programmers. And I thought to myself, isn't that redundant :)
But seriously folks, try the veal.

The chumby.com developer forum is a great resource. There's also a Chumby dev wiki. And the latest version of the Chumby firmware includes a version of MTASC, which allows you to create Flash widgets without the Adobe Flash IDE (MTASC allows you to write your actionscript and compile right on the Chumby device).
