Re: SWMBO blocking, was Cool!

["Alistair Watkins" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

Does anyone know where I can get an open source SWMBO from?
mine doesn't seem to be responding proplerly to commands, afterall
why have homeseer respond to a "turn lights on" voice command,
when
you can get a far more personal service?

I hear something called 'shopping therapy' can help, but that sounds
expensive and i'd rather buy more light modules..
