(09-14-2009) Slacker...

I've been slacking when it comes to working in the shop lately, but I have been working in the house adding motion and open/close sensors throughout, as well as cameras to monitor everything. I wrote custom software to monitor everything, send tweets / text messages when events happen as well as trigger sounds and speech (via voice synthesis) when these events happen. I have a few more things planned. Adding support for 3 more cameras and monitoring all doors, as well as glass-break sensors are in the plans. Just for fun, I'm planning to add an IR transmitter and setting a timed event for sending the Roomba out to clean the floor every day at a specified time.

Lots more home-automation stuff in the queue, but who knows when I'll have time or money to make it all happen.
