... I started working out a clue or two - I'm low on "readymade" ones.
I keep these in a text file, will all the ones I've posted in the past so I can - hopefully - avoid too much duplication. So I've found a word, I'm working out how to phrase the clue, and the cat decides to help by merrily trotting over my keyboard:
So here is his clue:
y7uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu;p''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''tgyh[]'###################'' I'll add the (9) for you because I'm pretty sure he can't count that high, but if anyone gets the actual solution, I'll be most impressed!
Dij is one reason why I get so many compilation errors ...

Miss him. Thought I would substitute for him one time.
My record remains intact, never solved one, haven't tried in a long time. If I can't solve one, I could never create one, so I don't guess.

It's cool - I've just been installing the new graphics card and spent an hour hunting for a cable I thought I'd unplugged when I took the computer out but which didn't actually exist at all ...

You can consider this discussion Part 2 of this one: Open Source / Source-Available / Dual-License: We Need a new license!
[^]
I have a few questions:
1. Has any solo developer released Open Source Software (OSS) and then been better off for it?
a) there are numerous stories of OSS devs who have been so frustrated that they later yanked their software and caused great tumult
2. Why would any solo developer ever release their software as OSS?
Debunked Myth Hasn't Proliferated Yet
The only answer I can come up with is "They think they will be helped along by the generosity of those who use their software". But that myth has been debunked. People don't donate actual $$.
If you don't believe this, watch this video of Bruno Lowagie of iText fame (text to PDF conversion) and all of his struggles. Creating OSS is actually exasperating.
Open Source Survival: A Story from the Trenches - YouTube[^] The video is long but I watched it at 1.5x speed.
Linus & Linux?
Ok, I'll give you this one, Linus seems to have done ok, but can you name any others who have really succeeded?
When you release your software as OSS you can't actually profit from others using it.
You can only profit by charging for documentation or support or other on-the-side things.
That means only huge companies who can build huge support structures can really make money.
That means no single dev could ever really do that.
I'm pretty sure OSS is now just a way for large companies to use developer's solutions without ever having to pay them.
Tell my why I'm wrong.
