Automat v0.0.1

Wednesday June 21, 2006 4:58 PM

Jeff and I spent some time this week web-enabling his fish lamp. You can see whether or not the lamp is running, and turn it on or off. We've got some other devices around the office running on the same system. Jeff & I are thinking about putting together a tutorial on the how to roll your own. There are a ton of practical uses for this kind of automation. I'm working on adding scheduling, building an admin interface, restricting access, and integrating webcam feeds. The system uses the X10 CM17a Firecracker controlled by flipit. Jeff's flash interfaces talk to PHP scripts that control flipit, and get and set device status from a small MySQL database.

Windows Vista 2006 ~= UNIX 1969

Thursday June 15, 2006 4:56 PM

Microsoft has proclaimed that Vista will be the most secure operating system ever. Revolutionary features like virtual filesystem roots for users and applications, allowing applications to run with restricted priveleges, and the ability to access tools that require administrator rights by supplyng that admin password on a per use basis rather then having to log out and log in as the Administrator user are noted as answers to todays complex security needs.

Somewhere, Ken Thompson & Dennis Ritchie are having a big laugh over this.

More from The Tao of John Cage

"If you develop an ear for sounds that are musical it is like developing an ego. You begin to refuse sounds that are not musical and that way cut yourself off from a good deal of experience."

x0xb0x

Monday August 15, 2005 4:45 PM

After many trials and tribulations this summer (weddings, funerals, births, home improvements, SCUBA certifications, etc), I've finally started building my x0xb0x!

I'll be posting samples once it's complete.
