Title: act-remote.com and Uncle Phil Tutorials maybe gone.
Post by: Brian H on August 28, 2015, 03:14:26 PM

Tried to link a message to the Uncle Phil Tutorials.
act-remote.com domain has expired on 08/10/2015 and parked on Network Solutions. For renewal or deletion.
http://www.act-remote.com/PCC/uncle.htm

Though I believe they where also on another forum.

That will help. Thank you for the link.
I did see it was also on the HomeToys site but you have to search for it.

If no one has backed up these sites, it would be a very good idea to do so.  Seems like it would be something that the X10 forum (or Tuicemen, JVDE, cocoontech, etc) should have stored for reference.  I've found that the wayback machine is very good, but it doesn't always save all attachments forever.  Tutorials are great but are difficult to follow without the pictorials.

The link Tuicemen posted is an archive of the series but it seems the photos are not. Just the text.
I did a search at HomeToys but could not find it there either.
