We is Hark Technologies. Our main products are internet messaging
gateways for paging and cellular carriers. I first started using and
contributing to MythTV over 5 years ago (did a lot of work on the Alsa
support and Alsa volume control a few years ago - before the switch from
CVS to SVN and Trac). I have always wanted to do more with MythTV, but
time pressures on other projects kept me busy. I am also working on a
web site at http://pvrcompanion.com to host information and the
development of the software. There isn't anything there right now
except some of my old mythmon stuff that I used to have at mythhd.info.
