Is there a module that would allow me to display messages I (or someone else) chooses to send to the mirror remotely? The idea is to be able to say hi or send short messages to a mirror that is given as a gift.

This would need to work via the Internet (ie, not only whole on the same LAN). I think the easiest would be to post the messages somewhere that the mirror can check occasionally. Happy to modify code or write simple Python scripts (JS ok in a pinch).

I’d like it to be at least modestly secure — I don’t want random strangers to be able to stumble on the messages, which they could if I just used a script watching a twitter account for example.

But I’m not sure what is available for this and what makes the most sense. — a Gmail or IMAP inbox? A password protected website? Encrypted Twitter messages? I can imagine a lot of possibilities. But I can’t be the first person to want to do this, so surely there’s some existing module or approach that will work.

Any suggestions welcome!
