    Elk XEP upgrade 2.0.42 ?'s

    I was holding on to my 1.XX version XEP for the Java app for a long time until I finally had to break down and grab another unit out of my stock since I couldn't connect to my own panel with multiple machines.

    Happy Monday

    Spending the day turning over NFPA documents and talking with insurers and the fire marshal.

    Some of my works

    Since I'm a little bored, I thought I'd post up a couple pictures of my work that I've done recently and in the past.
