--------------------------<br>
<br>Greetings all,<br><br>Winter is drawing nearer so why not come along to Liverpool Linux User Group and forget about the October weather for a little while. This month we have a talk by our very own Neil Bothwick on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X10_%28industry_standard%29" target="_blank">X10 home automation</a>. <br>
<br>From Neil: "X10 is a hardware control protocol that passes signals over the mains electrical circuit. This talk will look at how hardware and software can interact using the X10 protocol to control equipment in the home, either automatically through scripts or interactively through a web interface or mobile phone."<br>
<br>Sounds cool doesn't it? A kind of "Pimp My House" type affair, but rest assured Tim Westwood will not be invited and I doubt he'll turn up of his own accord :)<br><br>We'll convene from 7pm but the talk begins at 7:30pm. Afterwards we'll probably retire to The Shipping Forecast for more discussion over drinks. So come and join us. Everyone is welcome and meetings are always friendly and informal.<br>
<br>See you there,<br><br>Dan Lynch<br>
