Hello all. I'm a 28 year old computer consulting analyst, though the title is deceiving as most of my time on the clock seems to spent programming. I share a house with my wife and our one year old son.
Our house has a handful of X10 components. Trapped inside for the winter, my projects for this season include adding more automation devices, primarily lighting controls.
I have a small home network that can support up to seven machines though I only have three: an XP box, a OS X notebook, and another box that seems to change its OS monthly (I like to tinker). None are currently setup to control X10 modules, but that will likely change in the future.
I am often referred to as "the car guy" or "the computer guy." Among car people I am a "Ford guy" and among computer people, I am "a software guy." As a kid, radio control was my single most adictive, time/money consuming hobby, and I have never really out grown it as I still have some of those toys around. Now, I can add home automation to my hobby list.
I am glad to have found an active forum covering this topic. Some of my collegues and friends are interested in home automation. I'll definately inform them of this resource if/when they decide to start tinkering. Thanks to the administrators for creating and mainataining this great site.
