Marry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I’d like to wish to all blog readers a happy New Year! Thanks for all of you to stay here and grow blog audience! Hope all your wishes will come true in 2009!
Happy Birthday, Smart Home Blog!
Completely forget about birthday of Smart Home Blog. It’s two years old now (actually the first post was done at 6th of February 2006)! As I see the number of blog readers is growing day by day and they spent enough time to read posts. But this is not my target. My target is sharing of my experience with home automation and popularization of smarthome technologies and systems. Especially my favourite one, LinuxMCE.
I’d like to say “Thanks” for all blog readers and commenters. I hope you’ll find many interesting things in the Smart Home Blog in the future! So, stay in tune!
Happy New Year!
My dear readers of Smart Home Blog!
Happy New Year! I’d like to many thanks to you for staying with me and sharing your experience. Hope to see you here also in the new 2008 year! Best wishes for you and your family!
Upgrade blog to Wordpress 2.3.1
Today I upgraded my blog to the latest version of Wordpress - 2.3.1. I was afraid a bit because that version includes a native support of tags. But I used plug-in Ultimate Tag Warrior. So, I wasn’t sure in the functionality implemented import existing tags from the plug-in and linking them with posts. But everything was over fine (at least at first glance). If you find something strange, please, drop the comment. It’ll help me fix found bug quickly.
Also, I modified a blog layout a bit. I replaced categories by tags cloud which is more useful IMHO. Currently there are 30 the most used tags on the side bar. The whole list of tags is available on the Archive page.
Back to work
Last Saturday I backed from vacations. Me and my wife Maria had nice time: met with parents and friends, walked on the St Petersburg streets, watched a few performers in the theater and didn’t have an Internet (except weak dial-up). So, we got an excellent rest!
During that vacations I bought a set of X10 devices for testing: CM11 (USB and RS232), TM13U and MS13E. Yesterday I setup CM11 together with TM13U and tested them with LinuxMCE. They work perfectly without any problems (wrapper suggested by Sam is not needed in my case). The next step is adding MS13E and creation a few scenarios.
Updated: After adding MS13E TM13U is not working anymore. I’ll try to setup it again and if it won’t work I’ll add the wrapper suggested by Sam.
