definitely looks interesting! :) Can it run by itself, ie. without
being attached to a computer? I would get stuff like that - except
that I would need help as well with the electronics (and the parts
purchasing!) parts... You're a cool dad!
(Now if this thing could be made - with relative ease - to be able to
power on and off various appliances/sockets at various times, I would
be interested)
