2010
2010/02/09 - One step closer to running both IPv4 and IPv6! I've updated my Home IPv6 notes page. Hopefully just a few steps away from running IPv6!
2010/02/07 - Well I'm stil busy but I found some time to clean up some of the 404s (link not found) that peppered the pages. I still have a lot of links to add and various other updates. I also need to rethink the pages as it's getting tougher to keep my pages on Comcast and my Linux HA pages straight (that is link wise). Now it's time to go shovel some snow.
2010/01/31 - Wow, busy, busy, busy! Guess what? I've been busy! ;-) But I've also been productive. The Kill-a-watt (x2) is on it's way for the Trenton Computer Festival presentation. I'm working on 7 - Netgear WGT634u and OpenWRT Kamikaze 8.09.2. I hope to use one of these to finally get my IPv6 up and running. I received a ton of electronics from Sparkfun and I need to deliver them to my friend (it's his Christmas present). I'm still a little mad at Sparkfun for their server crapping out mid-order on the $100 free inventory day but don't tell them I ordered stuff from them anyway. ;-). I've also been very busy with non-HA stuff but none of that will be mentioned here. I've updated the ZWave page with various links and I may be able to play with ZWave a bit more now (we'll see). I also have quite a few other links to update in the software section and I need to rewrite some code to work with the latest USB sub-system under Linux. Seems I'm only about a month and a half behind. :-/
Happy new year and welcome to 2010. It promises to be a very busy decade as I attempt a Masters degree in computer science. More immediate is that I've volunteered to do another home automation presentation on April 24th at Trenton Computer Festival (TCF, see the wiki TCF entry). The last one I did was in 2008. This time I intend to have the automated dollhouse finished in time. I just haven't yet figured out how to automate it in some presentable manor (pun intended :-). I also hope to document to project as it gets built. In the meantime I have a bunch of Insteon to order for my home.
I'm also quite busy with a bunch of updates. Unfortunately we've lost a great many web pages and I need to either find their new home or move the links to the Bone yard. I'll be busy whittling these down over the next few months.
And finally Marc Merlin has been kind enough to provide me with links to his 1-wire inormation pages (see my 1-wire section).
2009
2009/12/22 - I just attempted to compile the Today package (sunrise, sunset and assorted programs) but found that the code from 1985 (yes that's when the authors wrote the code) would correctly compile. I've made a few quick changes but I'm betting it could use some further work.
The History page - where the old updates are moved to.
