Only on-topic ubuntu posts though I perfectly understand it if other people like to read more about Ubuntu community members than just their work related to Ubuntu. My preference?

I've never used it on a Roomba, just on AIBOs, but it does have a version for Roombas and I assume it's just as good. In one of my classes at school we also mounted little Linux boxes on top of the Roombas that communicated through the COM port, which allowed us to control them over wifi. The added weight of the boxes really cut down on the robot's battery life though, so unless you run it on something tiny, it's probably not such a great solution.

For some reason, you seem to want to tell me something, still, you don't. Warnings? I actually don't have to WARN anybody, I did it because I wanted to. If you recall correctly, when you first submitted your weblog to PUU, you received an email explaining a few important things, one of them, was that your weblog would be removed if you posted off-topic. So I'm doing you a FAVOR when warning. Planet Ubuntu Users is a COMPLETELY different Planet than p.u.c, so please get in touch with me if you feel the need to discuss something (like I told you before). n8k99, I don’t understand why UbuntuWeblogs.org was mentioned.
