Hey Alek! I have been popping in on your website from time to time, checking on the mischief that you are creating for the benefit of Celiac awareness and I gotta tell you, you are one of my personal hero's. My daughter has Celiac Disease also and she was diagnosed at 2 years old at Denver Children's Hospital. I won't go into the typical story of the family that struggled through doctor after doctor that misdiagnosed their kids but I will tell you that I appreciate everything that you are doing. Keep up what you're doing because it is helping so many people including my daughter and other kids like her.
Alek replies at 12:18 - Thanks for the great note Noah. Yea, I
too unfortunately went through the the painful and frightening struggle
to get a diagnosis of our child ... among other things, Dirk spent 4 days
for "failure to thrive" at Children's.
Awareness is one of the reasons I do the Christmas Lights for Celiac Disease.
BTW, my wife is the real hero as she stays on top of the gluten-free
food stuff for the kids while I futz around with Christmas Lights! ;-)

So Dirk-n-Kyle said that the Santa Plane (see post #50) should be mounted on top of the house as if the Big Red Guy is coming in for a landing. This 110" long Christmas novelty is designed to be staked into the grass ... but after getting some expert assistance, it looks ready to go up on the roof. I'll put some pavers on top to reduce the chance of the wind sending 'em flying.
#66: Yes, that was the very last mow of the season. H1000: Good spot - yea, I did get a hair cut.

For those that missed the action last night, check out the first Christmas 2006 video. Santa's workshop Cam shows us bringing a LOT of "stuff" up from the basement and assembling the lighted train. Needless to say, "fighting" with the Candy Canes was the most fun ... ;-)

I signed up for Wind Power several years ago for my electricity - figured
I should do my part to be environmentally correct. And yes, people have asked where the windmills are on my property - there are none, it's a program
through Xcel Energy. So I decided to
take it to the next step and purchase a Carbon Offset for the
electricity consumed (even though it already comes from a
"clean" source). The last two years, my total electrical
usage for the month of December was just over 2 MegaWatt-Hours.
So even though I'll have less than 26,000 lights this year,
I punched that number into the Carbon Counter and got 1.13 tons of CO2. And then I made a donation
to CarbonFund.org
(transaction #VSHJ0C6297A2-350607) to cover twice that. And while bazillions
of people around the world would like to see my lights ON, if you are
environmentally inclined, you can help out by turning them OFF! ;-)

Is the Ho Ho Ho message made from just standard rope lights. If so how do you get them so straight as my rope lights always want to revert back to the curved state and end up twisting. Dave UK
Alek replies at 15:24 - Standard Rope Lights Dave. It is a bit of work to get 'em straight - my technique is to take 'em out of the box inside the house (where it is warm) and have two people pull with moderate force to semi-straighten them. I then use lawn stakes to anchor and then pull 'em on the ground into the desired shape. I pre-measured the HO HO HO which helps make it look semi-decent - watch the Christmas video of that.

WOW. House looks spectacular Alek. A Job Well done and still some more to come. You are truly Mr Griswold, Alex's mum I hope that it stops raining for you so you can finish yours. I know you live in Derbyshire do you listen to Peak FM. There is a House in Calow that is covered from top to bottom in lights and is being switched on by Santa dont know when though. Dave UK

I wake up this morning and there are a 1,000+ folks viewing "Christmas Lights for Celiac Disease" - turns out this is on the front page of DIGG - YIKES! So I enabled the X10 controls (inflatables only - you hardly see the lights during the day) so people can have fun.

Hey Alek, good to see so many people loggin in to your site but its a real shame some of them are lowering the tone on a nice family website in support of Celiac disease with their foul IM comments. The house and lights looks amazing and you've done such a good job, keep it up, your kids are so lucky to have wonderful parents :) who make this a special time for them. Take Care

Nice work and good cause. Donation in progress. BTW don't hold your breath on the Entercom donation or any help from them. I worked for them and they are one big evil company. They only raise money for animals cause they feel guilty not liking humans. They forced us to donate when they gave very litle. Bunch of media crooks. Since they do worship the devil it's no wonder they will not donate to anything around Christmas time.

This is so cool! I'm amazed your server can handle all this traffic.
Alek replies at 10:34 - This has been pretty popular over the years, so it is load-balanced across four 100 Mbps dedicated servers runnning this. One for the main site, and one for each webcam. All running Linux/Apache with mod_perl. Load factor is up, but running smoothly. Perl code has a few locking issues due to the heavy load (using Perl Cookbook 7.11 - Locking a file)
but the retry limit I wrap around that hasn't been reached yet.

Alek, as usual, the lights are looking great! Have you considered a completely solid-state networked control system for your lights? You might be able to find a commercially available device sold as a light show controller. However, even if not, given the variety of smart power electronics and network-aware microcontroller development kits on the market these days, it should not be all that hard to roll your own. Outside of increased switching device lifespans, you should be able to attain nearly 100___ reliable control, and latencies within the 25ms range or so (possibly shorter with an aggressive design).
Alek replies at 22:22 - Excellent question . the main issue is that my christmas lights are plugged into outlets all over the house ... so I would have to run control wiring to each location. My hope is their will eventually be a "solid" home automation standard (possibly wireless) that will negate this show-stopper for me.
Concerned Parent: There is quite a bit of anti-pottymouth code/algorithm's in place to (at least try to) slow that stuff down. Unfortunately, anything that allows free speech (something I believe in) is often abused as you are seeing here - rest assured you are NOT seeing most of it.

There are certainly bidirectional wireless automation platforms (e.g., Lutron RadioRA) on the market, although my guess is that it will be a while until there is a clear standard for this type of system. And, such standardization is nearly a prerequisite for a high-performance switching module. That said, embedded Wi-Fi modules are certainly on the market that could readily accomodate your objective without waiting for a standard and without wiring for Ethernet everywhere.

I was wondering if you could tell me a little more about your streaming camera setup. Are you using the Dlink camera to upload via FTP to your server and setting JS to auto refresh for your visitors? Also what type of delay do you see in the video. I'm working on a little web project that is similar to yours in the technical aspects and would love to share information with you.
Alek replies at 00:15 - Those questions (and a lot more) are answered in the Christmas FAQ.

In times of crisis, people increasingly use the Internet to contribute money quickly to aid organizations such as Red Cross/Red Crescent, Mercy Corps, UNICEF, and many others that provide relief to victims worldwide. Unfortunately, while it has made donating easier, the Web has also led to an increase in online donation scams that play on our conscience. In our effort to lend aid quickly, many of us set aside our cynicism and become more susceptible to these false solicitations. In addition to conning givers out of their money, donation fraud also takes its toll on legitimate groups, denying them funds. Beware

Arriving home from dinner tonight, I attempted to pull into the garage and heard a big CRUNCH. I thought it was a toy or something, and my sister got out to check. She saw nothing on the ground and told me to go ahead and move forward, whereupon the CRUNCH resumed, only louder. All of a sudden she looks up and points to the top of the car, looking at me like I should know what it is, saying something I can't hear. I back out and open the door to hear her, and she says, "The tree!" Yeah, we had all forgotten the tree was attached to the top of the car, and the iron tree stand that was screwed in at the tree farm had dented the house right above the garage. The tree is now crooked.

If you don't do anything else, could you please replace bulb #1243 before turning on the controls tonight. It was very distracting last night. Other than that, everything looks perfect.
