Yeah man, good to meet you too! I just get distracted easily by shiny objects and it makes me lose track of what I am trying to read. ADD/OCD is no way to live.
Thanks for the rep. It would be great to ride with you if you can do the 24 hours of booty. I still need to book a motel room for saturday night. I'm not driving home after a 24 hour event.
I had a boombox type thing set up at the other end of the house by the front door. Could turn it on and off via the RF key fob. Great for say Boombox(distraction) --> Badguy--> You. Also entertaining if you like to watch your four legged friend go WTF.
I use to use IBM Home Director for such things. They sold out to X3 or radio shack. But read up on the concept. It uses existing power wires. I've only found 2-3 specific outlets in 4 houses it didn't work on (really really really old wiring)
Kill switch by the bed or RF key fob as well. Timers programed by computer, ect
