Systemd service and timer

Also included in this repo are a couple of systemd unit files that enable notifications of tracking updates to your desktop. To install them, put them in the ~/.config/systemd/user directory, and activate the timer like so, substituting in your tracking number:

systemctl enable --now --user jadloop@TRACKING_NUMBER.timer

You may edit the timer unit file to change the update period. By default, it checks for new information every 20 minutes.
