Function details:
- It's very hacky:
- There's a shell+python script on the 'low' tool on labs that forces a re update of the data when the new dump comes out for the month. It dumps it to ~/public_html/result.txt
- Another python script in the 'legobot' tool pulls that text file and updates the page accordingly.

- I had a typo in my crontab so the update wasn't running. Fixed,
