Home automation and "home automation" related things, including venues, pubs, gigs and posts about home automation. If you have something to offer concerning home automation that is not mentioned here, please chip in. Particularly if you have something to offer regarding local pubs or other venues, homebrew, beer, or appley goodness. Cheers.

This is my personal site, so if you search here for pubs or other venues it will only return home automation pubbing / venues I have been to or plan to go to. Fingers crossed it will return those anyway...If you are interested in a more general search please try home automation on Folkestone Gerald, where I list national and international venues...

As it turns out there are no pubs / venues regarding home automation anyway. Is there something I have missed? Please let me know!
