Some days I am apathetic about my day job, but every so often the drive coming in is enough to force me to quit. One in three are poor people driving with barely any concentration to the roadway. As if that wasn’t enough, I tipped my tea on the way into the parking stall...
Another day in paradise.
I’m dreaming of X-10

I should let people know that for devices related to home automation I pay a lot of attention to new items developed by consortiums such as Home Automation Inc and SmartLabs.
Almost all of these recent products developed are not really as big a deal as they claim since these things could be accomplished before using existing basic items but for beginners they’re available as a nice package. That and now you don’t require an electrical engineering degree to understand how it works.
There are a few parallels between the technologies involved. As an example, not one of the product lineups use handheld remote items as signal boosters, and nearly all devices use radio frequency in some way. Looking deeper however, it becomes more interesting – I could try to describe it at this point and make mistakes, this place Z-Wave home automation does a good job of analyzing some of the differences.
Now anybody having any thoughts on tricks to earn enough money to cover our new obsession, please let us know!
