QA Statusboard

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems.

Created in my free time as an internal tool. Original repo deleted as contained internal information which should not be public. Used to automatically query to get information about the testing servers as well as let QA know when they go up or down.

Credit to Sara who made huge contributions to the original repository and would not have been possible without her.
