[ale] home automation?

I haven't updated my site since I haven't updated my code in a long
time. I'm not the fastest coder in the world, and with a FT job and all
the chores involved with a new house I just don't have time to code.

that said - I finally have a house to experiment on. And while I'm
changing jobs in the next few weeks, I'm hoping by late summer to be
working on it again. 

Enough excuses, what I'm working on is a CORBA-esque system of daemons
that communicate with each other to control x10, relay devices and act
as a security system. I haven't settled on a VR system yet - when I last
worked on this (back in spring '01) There really wasn't anything for
linux I thought was prime time. I haven't evaulated what is now out
there, but if anyone has recommendations I'd appreciate them....

PS, If anyone wants to help working on this let me know. I suspect I'll
make much more progress if I have someone who is waiting on me to get
stuff done.
