I am, yes, and it's still working fine for me and being a really useful kind of alarm clock. I recently updated it to let me set a different default alarm time per day of the week and configure one-off different alarm times in advance via my calendar software (previously the only configuration in advance it supported was to disable the alarm).
Unfortunately, you apparently can't buy Chumbys (er, Chumbies?) any more – I recall that senji tried and failed. If you can find another kind of small Linux box, my alarm clock program has a porting layer which might make it a feasible project to run it on that, but we'd probably have to discuss it at least...
Doh! I just looked up Chumbies and saw they were being discontinued, but hoped they hadn't gone entirely.
In fact, a Chumby seemed too complicated, you really only want something with an LCD display, wireless dongle, three coloured buttons, speakers, and an ARM chip. I don't even care whether there's an operating system.
I wonder if anyone is selling a raspberry pi already embedded in an appropriate box? Again, that might be overkill, but it might be worth it.
My alarm clock software ties in over the network to my calendar, so I do care about having an OS – it would be a significant pain to find an embedded IP stack and rewrite that part of my code to do its HTTP by hand rather than by libcurl. (But probably nobody else will be able to use that code as-is anyway.)
A Raspberry Pi does sound like a plausible possibility, now you mention it.
