The thing is, I’m on a tight-ish budget… (funding everything
myself..
without bank loans / credit cards….).. and the way I look at it, I’m going
to
learn loads doing it all myself !
even
if it does mean soldering things together …
!)
I also want to have full control using my pc – with software that I
can
have written for me – to do whatever I like ! – totally bespoke system! –
all for
as little as possible.

Grimshaw is our resident MisterHouse guru.
I
looked
at Misterhouse, and a number of others, several years ago and ended up
shortlisting HomeSeer or HomeVision... I went for HomeVision, and never
looked
back.

I
started
out with dos 6.22 …and wfwg … that
was…
oooh…in 1996 I think !? (fresh out of
school..)
Have
you
seen a piece of software called
‘mister
house’ ??? – it’s written in perl.. and is uses a text to speech engine ? –
I
was thinking of using this as a front-end to my HA system (a good friend of
mine is going to write the web front end for it all..) (and its free too
;o)))

To me, all the stories say the same thing:
Machines set up once, left as servers, and never touched tend
to
carry on running for long periods.
Machines used as "client PCs", with regular new
downloads
installed (only if just controls within web pages), or with new
"test" software tend to crash regularly.
Note the complete absence of "on Windows", or
"on
Linux"... both have the same characteristics as above
:-)
