OK. I'm curious.  ???

I created this thread « on: 2006-08-27, 01:42:47 » and it had a few views and ZERO replies until roger1818 « Reply #1 on: 2006-09-08, 13:37:02 » (12 days).

Now it's gotten replies 3 days in a row and LOTs of views - why the sudden interest?
Could be Roger's magnetic personality. More likely it just slipped by till his post bumped it back into the light.

comp.home.automation with 59,600 X10 posts is definately a Gold Mine of information.
Even some of the non X10 posts have valuable information for X10 users.

TTA, Thanks for pointing me to this NG.  ;D

I just returned from a Newsgroup visit and there are quite a few interesting, highly-technical (may induce 'Brain-Freeze' depending on your current level of knowledge ;) ) recent posts (time period 04/23/2007 back to 04/17/2007; I only viewed a few threads from the first page, 1-30 of 38835, before my old brain NUMBED over with the level of technical details being discussed. :-[ ) from a few of the X10 Pioneers.

Just in case you don't know any 'names', check out anything by (Newsgroup IDs):

  • Jeff Volp (of course! ;) )
  • Dan Lanciani
  • Dave Houston

If your head starts to hurt while reading, don't say that I didn't warn you!  ;D

Some interesting info there on passive signal couplers.  I'll port some of that over to my tutorial in the coming weeks.
