Sure, I put it here:

  http://folk.uio.no/trondham/software/beta/

Highlights of the template are:

  - works with the plugin's new perfdata API
  - removed unnecessary dependence on PHP >= 5.2 (good for rhel/centos 5
    users)
  - calculate power usage for the selected time period, in Watt hours
    and BTU

Yep, I know. That typo was the first thing I fixed :)

Hm... this could be tricky to do in a consistent and general manner (at
least the substr() part). The sensor names are as reported by
OMSA. Perhaps this could be accomplished with some RRD magic instead?

Tips and hints are welcome, since I'm neither a PHP expert nor an RRD
ninja :)
