I’ve managed to make a new php block that includes my HA server status as well as some info that is mostly useless to anyone but myself. Anyone running Homeseer and php-nuke is welcome to email me for the code.

Devices
When I upgraded to a newer version of Homeseer earlier yesterday evening it screwed something up in DCOM so that nothing was showing up in the status area below. Fixed now.
PC Rebuild
Spent most of the day rebuilding my system, so have not had a chance to get online. Will probably spend the next couple of evenings reinstalling apps, may not get a chance to post.
New Forum
Just added a couple of new forums to the message bases. One for Legend of the Green Dragon, and a requests forum for the BBS. Feel free to visit and post.
Stuff
It was a very long day at work. I’ve been back in ops for several weeks and still trying to get used to it. It is a very different world in the restaurants than it was working in the IT department. I had almost forgotten how URGENT everything is. You have to cram 15 hours of work into 9 or 10, go home, and start again. There is always something that needs to be done. Basically just have to get the big stuff first and worry about little stuff when there is free time.
On another note, I think I am going to try and create another skin suite. It has been a couple of years since I have done any skinning, so not even sure what I want it to look like. I may post screenshots here as it develops.

DesktopX (Blatant plug)
If you have never checked it out, go on over to Stardock’s website and check out DesktopX, or just buy it here. Here’s a little blurb about it from their website:
“DesktopX is a revolutionary program that allows users to extend their Windows desktop to support true objects.
These objects can be combined together to form themes or used on their own. In short, a user can literally build their own desktop interface and they can do so without being a programmer.
In addition, a user can choose to just use individual DesktopX objects to enhance their existing desktop. DesktopX objects can be anything from a simple picture to an MP3 player, stock tickers, weather monitoring, instant messaging, or anything else that one could imagine having on their desktop.
Users can either create their own objects or download any of the thousands of themes and objects already available and use them.”
Yes, I am somewhat affiliated. I get a cut from your purchase of it. I have used DX since it’s early inception, and it has really come a long way.
Windowblinds
Windowblinds
Windowblinds allows you to skin window borders, buttons, the task bar and Start button, and soon, scroll bars, tabs, and progress bars.
You can download Windowblinds and some skins at Windowblinds home page or from my bbs. There are also several links to skins sites on the links page. Soon I will be putting my skinz archive online along with my own skins, and you will be able to post your own.

Shadowscope Radio
I am carrying a shoutcast feed for those of you weird enough to be interested. Mostly Heavy Metal, but their may be a few surprises in there for you. You can access is at http://shadowscope.com:8000
In order to conserve bandwidth (I am only on DSL for now)I have limited it to 5 connections (one of which I am probably using as we speak). If you time out or get errors, it is at the limit.

Pages
Most of the links and pages will NOT work for a couple of days as I swap everything around.

Hoo Haa. Finally have my server back online.
I will begin posting shell updates again very soon. I am in the process of redoing the entire site, as I am hosting several domains now and a couple of users web sites
