Your fire alarm system looks as annoying as an antivirus. And you 'fixed' it like I 'fix' the antivirus.

Our elderly neighbour (until she passed away) was forever saying she wasn't deaf - just the TV volume would make your ears bleed - and I walked out of our house about 100m away to hear a faint beeping...tried to follow it home, which isn't easy because that frequency I find difficult to get any direction from and ended up at her house, with the kitchen full of smoke, and her asleep in her chair.
She'd stuffed her heat-in-the-microwave-comfort-pad in the microwave, set it for thirty minutes instead of seconds, and gone off for a nap...Smoke alarm? Didn't even register with her...

Well, carbon monoxide is much more insidious, it may not want to kill right away...

You are of course going to replace the detector? We'd hate to see you suddenly disappear from CP because you went to sleep and never woke up again because of an inconvenient CO problem.

Probably - but it's low priority. We got it when we were using the solid fuel burner, but we stopped a few years ago because it was too much hassle (and getting very expensive). At the moment we are on electric storage heaters, which don't produce CO anyway, so it isn't urgent.

Are your oven, water heater, and clothes drier electric too? The gas versions of them can produce CO if broken.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yes - we live on what used to be an island between an canal and a river (the canal is now a road) and there is no mains gas within about a kilometre. We could have bottled gas, but...it'd have to go out the front of the house as there is no rear access due to the river, and that means going through 2 foot thick granite walls which is...um...entertaining (and hideously expensive!)

The only way from here is up right?
I managed to get 2 articles written and posted but I need to finish another project I started last week and am almost finished with but keep finding excuses to not finish. I've got a Beagle Bone Black coming end of week and if the project is not done by then I'm afraid it will be put off for some time.

Finish it first! If you don't, it's take twice as long when you do get back to it (and you'll be wondering "why did I do it that way?" if you're anything like me...)

Yeah I'm kinda the same way!
I've put off doing one section because I just haven't been able to wrap my head around it and it's not that hard a problem. I've worked with this section of code a couple of times and want to create an elegant solution but nothing I've done seems to work so it's back to KISS!
I'm the kind that puts off what I perceive to be a problem until the end and then when I do do it turns out to be easier than I thought.

Down to the last little bit and I've been putting it off but am going to finish it today or tomorrow because I've got a Beagle Bone coming end of week and...well you know!
I was trying for an elegant solution but I think I'll just KISS for now and if I come up with something later will put out an update.
One of the reason it's taken so long is that I went from db4o DB to SQLite and I want to make sure it's stable so I've been doing a lot of QA.

"I'm not quite sure what you are asking for" - sucking the help out of help fora.
Spoken by pinheads who are talking to people unsure of their English(closet racism), or by people trying to pretend they are such experts that the question is sub-standard, or by people that seriously think they are computers(get a life/therapist/pill).
Then there is the old classic of the Ubuntu help forum, "This question has been closed because daddy's favourite little Ubuntu boys think it isn't a real question". Way to make bugs just 'go away' chaps!
Anybody know any others?
