    Some stuff of interest to the X-10 Hacker:

    http://www.circuitcellar.com

    This is the home page of the "Circuit Cellar" Magazine, that regularly
    runs X-10 articles.  This magazine gets down into the details of the
    specification and such, and has a lot of useful ideas.  Back issues
    seem to be available on CD-ROM.

    They also seem to accept (and pay for) contributed articles.

    The major problem that I have had with the X-10 devices is the failure
    rate.  Every other year one seems to die on average, but it usually
    goes in spurts.  It is a far higher failure rate than I have seen with
    any other electronic device.

    The units that have failed for me all have the Radio Shack brand on
    them.
