Current Status:

2009/07/02 - Chris Kreutzer has shared his X10AHP Java (CM15A Java code). He's using Java Libusb to interface to the USB sub-system. This reminds me that I have a bit of work to do on my CM15A code (protocol, driver and daemon).

2009/06/28 - Well I forgot to post that I was kind of 'heckled' at the last presentation. I'll have to blog about that. In the mean time I completed my big bike ride (206.5 miles @ 17.5 mph avg - Oh yeah!), I'm half way through my final course (Astronomy) for my degree, I've resurrected my IPV6 network (dang deprecations) and I've managed to finally build my first distribution LORHA for an AMD Geode board which I'll use as my home router. I'm using BuildRoot for most of the distribution. I'm hoping to use the new router to handle IPV6 (using Go6 tunnel broker for now) as Comcast embraces IPV6. They'll trial consumer IPV6 through 2010.

2009/04/19 - On Friday, May 15th, the Brookdale Computer Users Group (BCUG - A Forum for PC and MAC Users) has asked me to present my older Home Automation presentation at Brookdale Community Collge Lincroft, NJ Bldg. MAS, Room: 100, 7:00 p.m., I did this presentation in Jan 2008 for the Princeton PC Users group. I'll spend some time updating the presentation as things have changed a bit.

2009/04/18 - Here is something I'll miss because of a special assignment for work (grr, but at least I have a job). - Come join the Open Remote folks for First event of 2009. Come join us in Amsterdam, May 29th 2009! Don't miss your chance to meet the OpenRemote team, share experiences and be part of the community!
