Well, wouldn't you know it, the day after I found mrhousefromscrach.tk, I went back to it and it was gone... fortunately, through appropriate channels, I was able to contact the author and he pointed me at the new location http://wiki.cyberjunky.nl/doku.php

After several tries, I got my computer updated with CentOS and misterhouse installed properly. Over the past couple of days, I have been in touch with the guy that wrote the UPB module for misterhouse. I must say I very much appreciate his help... from the initial support of the UPBPIM just a couple weeks ago, and UPB devices last week, he added UPB links just this weekend. Plus, he's been sending me new versions of the libraries as he updates them, so I can help him stress test.

One complaint that I currently have right now is that the states of devices and links can very easily get out of sync. If you activate a link, it doesn't update the local (MH) status of the device. There are many little things like that that need to be fixed, but for 3 weeks of development, it's actually quite good!

My plan is, once I get MH in a state where I like the way it works and I can leave it on for more than a day at a time without messing with the code myself, then I can invest in the X10 RF stuff and destabilize MH again :-)
