    The Wink home automation thread

    This is a separate dome light in the room, not the light on the fan itself. Yes, ideally I'd have it re-wired so there would be separate switches for all three items (dome light, ceiling fan light, ceiling fan), or at least separate the dome light onto its own switch. In which case I wouldn't...

    The Wink home automation thread

    Forget the ceiling fan, it doesn't really matter overall. The point is that my GE Link bulbs tend to lose connection to the hub when they are physically powered off for several days. I have other ones in lamps that do the same thing. I think I'll try the Hue bulbs based on MBSMD's reply. Thanks!

    The Wink home automation thread

    Hey all. I've been a happy Wink user for a couple of years now. I'm looking for recommendations on A19 bulbs to replace a couple of GE Links. Here's my situation - in one of our rooms we have a dome light and also a ceiling fan/light connected to the same light switch. I want to turn all the...

    EVGA GT 240 $40 AR @ the egg

    I had ordered this from Microcenter, but it is on backorder for who knows how long. I canceled that and ordered from Newegg. Only about $4 more in the end, since I had to pay for shipping at Microcenter.

    Bolle Coachwhip Sunglasses $28 at REI

    Hmm, can anyone comment on the color of these? The picture makes them look dark red except for that inside part that looks purple. It says "3e Violet Tns Gun", so I'm guessing they are more violet in color than red? I have a different pair of Bolle shades that I'm very happy with and wouldn't...

    Solar Flare hot

    Am I the only one who thought the thread title could have used a bit of detail? And by "a bit of" I mean "any".

    9800 GT the problem?

    Weird, I have the same problem. What kind of monitor do you have? I have a Gateway FPD2485W. I have some similar components to you - I use an 8800GT on an ASUS P5B Deluxe board. I don't really pay much mind to the problem, since my computer is sleeping most of the time and it's pretty rare I...

    I noticed that they updated the rebate form to a new one, that is good from 3/3 to 3/31. So this is still available.

    Patriot Viper 4GB DDR2 800 (2 x 2GB) = $19.99 a/r free ship

    Did a couple searches and didn't find this, seems like a pretty hot deal to me. Got an email from Newegg with some promo codes, including an additional $10 off this RAM. $54.99, free shipping - $10 promo code EMCLNNP26 - $25 rebate = $19.99...

    Complete Led Zeppelin Set at Rhapsody for $10 (165 songs, 256kbps, DRM Free)

    Thanks OP, I snagged this. Even though I already have all the albums, I had to bite on the remastered Song Remains the Same and Mothership tracks for this cheap.
