*15 Oct. 2009 - Upgrade to Alpha 2.37 caused LMCE boot scripts to be executed 2 and 3 times on startup.  I tried to figure out why but couldn't narrow it down and choose to re-install from scratch to ensure there were no problems.  On install I couldn't create MDs until I added the missing " to the end of /usr/pluto/bin/files.d/fstab-??.sh

**19 Oct. 2009 - I've been fighting with a CM11A and two X10 appliance relays and I have come to the conclusion that X10 is old technology which should be taken out behind the shed and put down.  I will attempt a few more times, however it looks like noise on my power lines is causing the appliance relays to turn 'ON' whenever they feel like.  I've been checking logs to see if LMCE was the cause to no avail.  I shut my core down today and used another X10 controller with the appliance relays, the result was the same.  LMCE was not the cause.  Maybe I'll try ZWave next time I've got some disposable cash.
