As promised, the blog is open for comments on September 1st ... and congrats Alison for the first post ... UK time! ;-) I won't be setting up the halloween decorations for a couple of weeks ... and expect the halloween decorations webcam online around October 1st. Read about what is new for halloween 2007 (and there are already plans for halloween 2008! ;-) So here is what the display looked like in 2006 - chime in with any suggestions/ideas for 2007.

Believe it or not, I just picked up The Biggest Balls at a garage sale for $45 - they were actually commissioned/used by the Colorado Rockies professional baseball team. I tossed a strand of lights in one of 'em and looks pretty decent at night. And with 2.3 Amp commercial blower motors, they inflate pretty darn quick. While they aren't holiday-themed, it might be fun to toss 'em out on the front lawn and let Internet surfers inflate/deflate 'em - what 'ya think?!? ;-)

Alek, are you planning any changes because of the extra hour of daylight now that we are on the modified Daylight Savings Time?
Alek replies at 20:34 - Excellent question. Yea, when I saw that was changed last year, I was bummed ... since it won't get dark for another hour ... even on Halloween. So no major changes - just means the light controls won't start up quite as early since we won't switch off of Daylight Savings Time until after the 31st.

Yes, I must vent about this !!! Daylight savings time will have kids trick or treating in daylight hours now because it starts in November . Now it will be 7pm before it get dark in the East . Why did they change it. Now some kids won't come at dark because on school night it will be 8 or 9pm getting through .

I agree with everyone else that it is a real bummer that the switchover to Standard Time has been pushed back to November - much better when it gets darker earlier on Halloween. And speaking of being ecologically minded, I again (as in 2006) made a donation to cover the CO2 emissions for the holiday displays. So not only are the lights wind-powered for the last several years, but they are also Carbon-Neutral ... so yes, #42, Al Gore would be proud!

Big change in weather today - instead of high's in the 80's, it topped out at 55 ... and lotsa rain this morning. It is supposed to warm back up .. so the first Colorado Snow (which happened on October 18th last year) won't occur this week ... but shouldn't be long before the White Stuff comes down!

Yea, I fired up the webcams as I installed the initial lights on the upper roof - here's the first 2007 halloween movie. At the beginning, I do the so-called "superman pose" and at the end, I'm checking how things look on the laptop. Expect more halloween deocrations to go up in the next couple of days and I'll be sporadically turning on the webcams.

Have updated the Halloween Movies page with footage from putting up the inflatables yesterday as seen in a picture below from webcam2. SpongeBob's blower fan is kinda weak, so I'm going to hang him from the garage where he will be visible on webcam1 along with the Hulk, clawing Spider, rotating pumpkin, Frankenstein, and Homer Simpson - lots more to come in the next few days - D'OH! ;-)

OK, there is a LOT more lights to go up along with some other stuff, but figured I'd turn things on for a test run ... so the X10 controls are active (i.e. you can turn stuff on & off) and send IM's for all to see on webcam3.

As expected, a couple of misc. teething issues the first few days. The X10 Super Socket on Zone-4 blew out ... so I'll have to replace that. Looks like the Fan Blower on the Skull isn't working - will check tomorrow. Coding error wiped out the IM logs for the last two days - added better error checking along with several other very minor coding fixes. Overall, this is by far the smoothest start to the holiday season I've had. And oh yeah, I still need to put up more lights before the cold, rainy weather comes on Sunday.

I have a tip that might keep the blowers from blowing out on your inflatables. Seperate the power for the blower and the lights. Put the lighrs on the X10 control, so they will go on and off, and the blowers will always be on.
Alek replies at 20:28 - Yea, but then you can't "kill" Frankenstein, Homer, etc. I always blow a couple of fuses (on the inflatables) over the holiday season, so maybe I got 'em outa the way early.

Lots more traffic to the website today, so figured I should tidy things up a bit. Several of the light bulbs inside of Frankenstein were burnt out ... so I replaced those along with a couple in Homer. And then I tossed a strand of 50 mini-lights in each ... so they should light up really well tonight. Also, on the rotating pumpkin, I removed the "blocker plate" (for snow I assume) so those of you complaining that it has been inflating too slow should be pleased. Finally, the "cauldron witch" is back up on the garage roof after falling down in the gusty weather this weekend.

For those interested, tons of info on the FAQ about how it all works. Also, webcam #1 is working again and I've turned it on early for this rainy day - have turned on the inflatables so they can air-dry a bit. Colorado Rockies still scheduled to play game #3 of the NLCS starting at 6:30 MDT and if it goes, will probably toss the monster baseballs on the front yard again.

People keep asking me about X10 Zone #1 - this used to be the house lights, but that is no longer the case ... so I changed the numbering from 2-7 to 1-6. Also, as noted on the IM log, the steady drizzle caused the main garage GFI to trip several times, plus Homer was too wet/heavy to fully stand up - all OK now. And how 'bout those Colorado Rockies - they went up 3-0 in the NLCS with a 4-1 win against Arizona. It was too rainy to put 'em out last night, but the Monster Baseballs were out earlier for good luck - watch webcam2 time-lapse footage.

Alek replies at 13:39 - I actually do have a fog machine ... and thought about hooking it up to X10 control ... but since these are heating units, they take a long time to warm-up ... so would not work too well for web surfers popping it on & off all the time ... although I may put it out for Halloween night. Along those lines, I have to plug the Lava Lamp in for an hour or so beforehand to get it warmed up.

One family that comes by every day called themselves "stalkers" ... and Heather was nice enough to allow me to take some pictures of her two buys Jakob and Zakary who look pretty darn cute in their stroller. In the second picture, Zakary is playing with the X10 Remote Control - his favorite decorations is The Hulk and Jakob's is (by far) SpongeBob SquarePants.

Note new feature for IM on Webcam per suggestion from Maxwell last night. On the main page is a "popup last 20" - mouseover that and you'll the last 20 IM's. I'd like to have this on the top-left of the screen, not the iframe ... so if you happen to be a CSS guru, send me a note how you would do it. Yes, I've tried "position:absolute; left:0px;" ... but that positions it on the left side of the iframe, not the browser. I have also tried various permutations (such as "position:fixed;") but no difference. If I do a "left: -200px" the rollover is clipped ... even if I play around with z-index. So ... is there a way to use CSS on content inside of an iframe so that it ends up being positioned outside of the iframe? Please only send me a note if you really know what you are talking about and can include a simple example - thanks!
Alek updates at 11:14 - Turns out you can't use CSS to change the contents of the parent document from an iframe ... but you can use Javascript ... so I've fiddled the code to use that approach instead.

In answer to tripping GFI's ... there is no easy solution. Try to close off any unused outlets, and if you can, elevate the plugs. Otherwise, you just gotta hope for the best - the GFI is there for a reason, so if they keep tripping and I can't fix the root cause, I just wait a day for it to dry out. BTW, I can see the big front coming from the West - expect the temperature to drop tonight and may have snow on the ground tomorrow.

As predicted, big change in weather overnight and steady drizzle/freezing rain/snow this morning with some sticking on the grass and tops of the skulls. Pretty breezy with solid clouds that are whipping across the sky. Should clear out in a day or so with no major accumulations.

I just wanted to thank you for putting your decorations on the web. My three year old son Noah has leukemia and as his immune system is compromised he cannot go outside. We found your web site today and he played with it for a real long time. He then told his mom... "Mommy, mommy, Daddy and I went out an looked at Christmas lights!" (He calls everything Christmas lights). Thanks for the joy you gave my son!

It is said that in Mexico there is a ghost of a woman who drowned her kids. They call her the ___"Cry Baby___" because she cries a lot. She is a wandering spirit, looking for her kids. If you misbehave with your parents she will visit you. She will come out if you are near a pile of water and scream ___"oh, my children!___" It is not safe to look in her face! If you do, death will follow. IF I WERE YOU I WOULD BE NICE TO YOUR PARENTS! The part about the woman drowning her kids is real. I think that the other part about her coming out of the water is true. If you encounter her, I would recommend putting on some ear plugs and running away from her

The Colorado Rockies lost game 1 of the World Series to the Red Sox last night ... 13-1! :-( Here is webcam2 video coverage of me deflating the monster baseballs and below is what they looked like in the morning - that's how I felt last night. Game 2 is tonight - so lets hope for a better outcome!

The air quality is awful and San Diego is covered in ash. It burned to the edge of the Wild Animal Park and we lost two rare California Condors.

Hi Alek, any chance of switching the lights on earlier tommorow for those overseas.
Alek replies at 10:56 - Problem is that it doesn't get dark until after 6:00. Having said that, things probably will start up a bit early on Halloween and I expect quite a few trick-or-treaters due to the decent weather we should have. I'll also have a floodlight on webcam1 for them to ham it up as they usually do.

Alek, in that pic you were using ISO 3200, that is highly un necessary and the noise makes that picture un-usable! If you haven't got one I suggest you get a remote shutter release so you can use the 40D on BULB mode and keep it at ISO 100 and do a longer exposure (2-3mins probably). That way you can have some nice start trails behind the house as well as a nice noise-free image! If you want to learn more about long exposures have a look at my site at adcuz dot co dot uk :)
Alek replies at 13:31 - I was shooting on a tripod ... so yea, could have easily done at lower ISO ... but to get same exposure at 100 would require 32x as long though - i.e. 16 minutes! I was tired and ready to hit the sack ... but would have been nice to get a higher quality image as you correctly state along with some star trails. Per your blog, I see that you have done some awesome light painting - so thought you might like the picture below from Christmas/2006. And you also have the 10-22mm lens ... it's a fun one, 'eh?!? ;-)

Kinda windy today, so the skull head flipped over - I'll fix in a bit. Thanks for the donation toward Celiac Disease Luke and anyone else that chips in. Wife thinks I'm outa-control ... she's right! As noted last night, I was carving a pumpkin with Dirk-n-Kyle ... we had a great time and they are pretty happy with how "Happy Hal" turned out.

How do I store my larger, more complex monster mud props for next year??
Alek replies at 11:52 - I store mine in the basement crawlspace ... although the Hulk would be a tight fit and isn't too keen about being stuffed in there! ;-)

how would you cram the other hulk in that small space??
Alek replies at 13:36 - Yea, the original Big Green Guy doesn't like being stuffed in there, so I'd have some angry HULK's if I put two of 'em in there ... and you don't want to make them angry! ;-)

Halloween 2007 was a ton of fun, but all good things come to an end, so I'm turning off blog comments until next September ... come back for halloween 2008. The christmas blog is open for comments and the christmas decorations will go up in a few weeks - expect the christmas lights webcam to go LIVE after Thanksgiving.
