You know, that's not a half-bad idea. Connect 'em up to X10 controllers.. now to see if I can remember this after xmas when they all go on discount!

    Anybody ever check out Mister House? A very cool voice activated home automation program written entirely in perl. Same code runs on Win32 and Linux. It could certainly spice up the Christmas lights...

      Indeed I have, and I have a MisterHouse box running at home. It has some drawbacks (IMHO it's not particularly well written, and it's certainly ill-documented), but Bruce has done a fine job of updating it frequently and he responds to suggestions very well.

    Good Gracious! I have all those lights in a big box with my sample x10 controller right on the top of the pile and I never once thought about putting them together! Oh man what a goofus I am! Imagine me kicking myself (which also requires you to imagine me a lot skinnier and a quite a bit more flexible than I currently am too). Now I can't wait to get home and tinker with em.

    --
    $you = new YOU;
    honk() if $you->love(perl)

      Where would I get one of these sample X10 controllers that I hear so much about?

      =IndyZ

        Check their homepage for special offers, x10.com

        --
        $you = new YOU;
        honk() if $you->love(perl)

    Wow. More X-10 users. Cool. I'm thinking about bulding an X-10 app for X11 running on OS X...
