There is a very useful Dot Net MSN Messenger library that is going to allow my Home Automation software to send me instant messages about the state of the house. 

My weblog went down when my hosting company decided to change the IP address of my SQL server database. I am not sure what prompted the IP change but I am going to look into it.

Found a .Net class that I may try and use for mu HomeAutomation project. I want to be able to have a notification service that is capable of sending instant messages when certain events occur. Chris Sells has some IM Client Classes that may work for me.
