Yesterday we released a new version of the mesh tools. Nothing earth shattering yet, but the main new feature I have been working on is connecting a mesh of computers to an external web site. Basically, you use the mesh to coordinate computers in such a way as to keep one of them connected to an external web site at all times. This scales because we don't all them computers connected to the site at once, just one or a few. You can then have the mesh send information about the local computers to the site and have the site send commands back to the mesh.

A few days ago I demonstrated waking up a computer from the web site. Just click a button on the external site and the command is sent down to one of the members of the mesh and causes a wake-on-lan packet to be sent on the local network. Pretty cool. We hope at some point to launch a "managing your computers as a service" trial sometime in the future.

Yesterday I also released a new version of the Developer Tools for UPnP Technologies with very minor fixes. Hope to get more fixes in soon.
