Where Do YOU Go For Your (Daily?) X-10 "Fix"?

[taketheactive@xxxxxxxxx]

I've been a X-10 User for *MANY* (20? 25??) years. My first "kit", that
I bought at SEARS, included a BSR Ultrasonic Command Console. [Whoa! :D
]

[Mr Rogers {bless his heart (as now done by Robin Williams)}: 'Can you
say "BSR"?' ;) ]

>From time-to-time, I get "spurts" when I enjoy checking on "X-10
Activity" daily. But, to-date, I have not found any ONE PLACE where I
can get my (complete) "Daily Fix".

I've been running a CM11A with ActiveHome v1.32 successfully for a few
years (I started out in my "computer-controlled phase" with a TW-523
along with a RS-232 Votrax Speech Synthesizer running under GW BASIC on
an IBM PC! :p ).  I "WANTED" to upgrade to a USB CM15A when it first
came out a few months ago, but after following the messages on various
sites for a few weeks, I (wisely it seems) decided against it.

Where I do check (somewhat) regularly is as follows:

DAILY (or almost):
==================

 - <http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.home.automation>
GROUP:comp.home.automation - this has got to be the MOST COMPLETE place
for X-10 information on the Internet! If you have *ANY* X-10 type of
question, you can most certainly find the answer here. *BUT*, you have
to SEARCH for it - it's not a Forum; there aren't any "logical
groupings"; it's ONE BIG LUMP of information and you have to DIG
THROUGH IT...

 - <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/x10> X-10 Yahoo! Group - this is the
"next oldest" X-10 Information Source that I'm aware of. Created on Sep
8, 1999, it currently has 2427 messages available for research.  But,
"activity" comes and goes, especially for 2005...

 - <http://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/mboard/rc-x10/list.cgi?0> X-10
Automation Chat Forum at Remote Central - Created on Mar 29, 1999 (or
Dec 18, 1972 if you go to the LAST Message?!?), this is an active X-10
Forum, but also lacks any "logical grouping". Thus all information
retrival must be done via SEARCHES...

 - <http://forums.accessx10.com> AccessX10 Forums - Created ~Nov 24,
2004, this is an active X-10 Forum that currently appears to be an
"ActiveHome Pro" niche. It has good forum software and can possibly
grow to become an "all-encompassing" X-10 site given time (and user
interest...)

SPORADICALLY:
=============

 - <http://www.cocoontech.com/index.php?> CocoonTech.Com - Created ~Dec
22, 2003, this active VERY TECHNICAL Forum appears to be a "HomeSeer"
niche.

 - <http://board.homeseer.com/forumdisplay.php?f=708> HomeSeer
Technologies General Forums - OBVIOUSLY supported by HomeSeer, I
sporadically visit their GENERAL Forums for ideas...

What sites do *YOU* regularly visit?

Why?
