Bob7k asked:


i want to be able to tunr stuff on and off from the comfort of my desk, like my fan, cofee machene, tv, whatever, how would i start this? im slightly into networking, and heavy into electronics and computer hardware, something that would take visual basic apps would be awesome as its the only computer language i know, kinda, but not needed, just flip stuff on and off, a dimmer would be nice. also, on a side note, i was at a friends house, we lost contact, but his cealing fan and light thing had a wireless RF remote, does anyone know whare to get those?
