Vodacom Data Usage Monitor for Mac OS X

[parautenbach]

I have built a useful app for myself that I'd like to share: It is a status bar app for OS X that monitors your mobile broadband usage (i.e. that of a 3G USB modem) on the Vodacom network (quite niche, I'd say, because it satisfies a very specific requirement). Many internet users are on restrictive mobile broadband contracts and might find this useful to better control their daily usage. The app uses a combination of the JSON API that's behind www.vodacom.mobi and a local usage monitor utility called vnstat. You can get more information on the GitHub project.

Feedback and comments welcome. Note that the software is available under the Apache v2.0 license, so feel free to modify the software to your taste, as long as you provide the necessary credit.
