As stupid/crazy/cool as it seems, there is a Linux-Coffeemaker-HOWTO.
Tells you how to use an SCR or a relay to hook up your coffee makes to
your parallel port, add a /dev/coffeemaker entry (basically a ln to
/dev/parX) and add a cron daemon entry to make your coffee each morning.
X-10 stuff is more flexible and probably less expensive. I jumped
for the $6 promo news-ertised on Slashdot a few weeks ago, and have
been sorely tempted to buy more, so I guess the plan worked. The
offer is still up there.
What? No one's going to stand up and defend the ice-cold can of
Diet Mountain Dew?
