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... Dave	[reply]

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.	[reply]

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)	[reply]

Where would I get one of these sample X10 controllers that I hear so much about? =IndyZ	[reply]

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