Well, that's 4 X10 dimmers, 3 curtains and a latch more than I've got!

I have NO HA stuff period.  I do have cabling between the sitting room and
bedroom ready to fit Nigel's circuit/Ian's PCB IR repeater sometime, and
possibly a pair of KAT5s (need a TV in the bedroom first!)

Incidentally, has anyone heard from Nigel since he's gone off-list?  He'd
be
proud of Project Bulkhead I'm sure!

As for PC support, this is simply the best - there's knowledge from BBC
micros through Cisco routers to high availability clusters with a
smattering
of air con and such like thrown in too.

Firstly apologies for numerous off topic posts.

Secondly, I have considered un-subscribing from the list recently, as from
a
Home Automation perspective it is more than a little hard-core for me -
Phil
will tell you, I've got four X10 dimmers, 3 drapeboss motors, and a
solenoid
door latch on my Yale - not exactly HA, but it does make life in a
wheelchair a little easier :) A PC based HA server with an iPAQ (which came
back from a repair today in 4 working days, to remove dust under the
screen,
and fix the stylus silo - I also dropped it and cracked the case by the
record button - new screen, new system board, and new back half of the case
all under warranty - PLUS it has a new serial number so the warranty now
runs out 2 years after I bought it), or my soon to be delivered Sony Vaio
Picturebook (http://www.sonystyle.com/vaio/picturebook/glamour.htm)
as a
client might persuade me to install some more toys.

However, I really do feel that I've become part of a community (even during
the occasional .mp3 fight with Mark :) ) and would miss you all if I did
leave. I belong to half a dozen mailing lists, and frequent a dozen or so
groups on the Usenet on a regular basis. This is the only list where I
genuinely feel I'm talking with friends, and I think the numerous off topic
posts made by all of us on occasion is a symptom of this. It doesn't happen
anywhere else for fear of "Net nazis" pouncing on posters.

Apart from that it is one of the best PC support forums on the 'net!

I do feel I've got some expertise in some areas, so I'll stick around and
contribute where I can.

And if anyone finds themselves passing through Surrey and wants to find out
what real home cinema sounds like, they'll always be welcome.

Tim.
