I don't know the specifics but the trajectory is promising. It is much more rewarding for me to work on an open source project than to haggle for a 3% raise. Right now I'm releasing free screencasts each week.
New adventures with Crestron
We are working on the largest Crestron project we ever head. It is going to be 8 zones of HD video switching and 34 zones of distributed audio. We are going to control it with a pair of 37" touchscreen tvs and 22 RTi remotes. We are going to be doing some tricks to hide electronics without losing control.
Look forward to more information and hopefully some freebies and tutorials.
What I'm working on
I purchased a hardware development kit from synapse-wireless.com. They make a really unique zigbee platform that runs python byte code quasi-natively. I am really amazed with it so far. It is very nice when you come across a product that actually does what it says it will. The wireless range really goes 75+ feet and it really does turn on in 100 ms. It joins the network within another 100 ms. By comparison it takes 300 ms for the human eye to blink. That means it powers on and connects to the network faster than a blink. I hope to post some examples soon.
What shoes does the shoe maker wear?
I'm using AMX at my house and I love it. In the future I will be posting a screencast of how it operates. There is a lot of design decisions that need to be made and I'm trying to make it as open as I can.
