Well it does have a Prolog rules-based system to help with navigation, but
it's hardly Arthur C. Clark's Hal 9000 turning off the life-support
systems!!

I'm sorry we don't have a site yet.  The project has been three and a half
years in development, but we expect to have a beta product mid-year.
Web-sites and stuff will be springing up in the second half of the year.

I'm sure you'll be hearing from us regularly as we get Simon up to speed.

Well it looks there is a Perl module:
http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/Net-DBus-1.0.0/lib/Net/DBus.pm

Good news.  It's version 1.0.0, so I hope it works!  I'll try it out.

Steve
