That'd be awesome :)

Yeah, I have a shell script that gives me discharge rate based on the 
same data source as battery-eye, whenever it gets updated, which can be 
as long as every 2 hours :) 

It'd be cool if one could force it to update (other than by tapping the 
battery icon and hoping).. I suspect though that it doesn't really give 
that meaningful results if it would update often. Based on staring at 
the output for days, I suspect it has a "magic" model that takes voltage 
and perhaps current measurements and translates that into a capacity, 
rather than a real colomb counter.

It's not as much NEP itself that interests me, other than that NEP 
probably knows how to talk to the current sensor, which is what would 
really interest me :)
