Subject: CryoProtect: Surveillance and Alert System for Cryonics

I have just begun a project that I have wanted to work
on for a long time. Last night I gathered the first
data for a rudimentary surveillance and alert system
for cryonicists.  This system would use the very
inexpensive x10 home automation devices (such as
motion sensors) hooked up to a personal computer,
which could run a program to monitor movement
patterns, and then go online and alert other
cryonicists through the internet. 

Other cryonicists could then interface with a webcam
or other devices to determine the condition of the
cryonicist in question, and possibly take remote
action to enhance cryopreservation.

Last night I gathered data via my computer and two
hooked-up  motion sensors. The data gathered was quite
encouraging (a max of about 45 minutes elapsed without
any motion while I was asleep).

However, I have some obstacles to overcome before I
can move onto the development of the main driver
programs. I have posted a complete writeup here:

I would very much appreciate the help of any computer
savvy people, as I work many hours, and so have
limited time available, but I will continue to work on
this, and will continue to post updates.
