    The light it burns.

    Thanks! Is that your day job or like personal home improvement hobby? That's pretty cool David (avatar hasn't changed I see); I haven't dabbled into any home automation beyond the standard functionality that comes with smart homes, though I have managed to upgrade nearly all outlets & lights to smart ones and ran a new outlet/light post or two.

    Currently a jack of all trades Analyst/Sys Adm for a financial company in FL.

    Any plans you know of for GotWoot to evolve into it's next form?

    I'm curious if others share it, but I kinda have this existential dread where I measure my lifetime / relative age by whether or not GotWoot is still gonna be around the next time I click on my bookmark LOL

    Are there enough regulars to breathe new life into GW or do we just let it fade away into the abyss with a whimper? Are my fears unfounded and she's alive and kicking?
    Don't believe in yourself, believe in me, who believes in you.

    Day job. Not what I was aiming for. Was an engineer in automotive then medical industry.
    Got serious health problems for over 5 years, job was over... Had to pay the bills, worked as an electrician with far too much qualifications, even for the manual part of it to my surprise !
    Then quickly got jobs around home automation and the likes.
    I now have many customers that pay me for things that seems easy to me, but they can't have done by anyone else.
    Maybe because I have both the engineer's knowledge and the electrician knowhow.
    Job pays the bills and more so it's ok afterall.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
