Stuart thanks for the link, was going to look into that today. 
It works great on Ubuntu without doing anything special and was using it yesterday to do some Node.js coding.
New version: WinHeist Version 2.2.2 Beta I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!

it's also a must have for Powershell editing... way better than the ISE and better than other powershell-oriented IDEs out there. also in this week's insiders build (now daily builds) you can now launch powershell as the integrated terminal too

Pretty productive on Linux. I use it to write Node.js and Python.
But the Vim plugin is like a toy

I have spent hours today clearing out cr@p, taking it to the tip, jet washing the patio, and so forth.
And the worst bit? I'll need to do it all over again fairly soon!
Why can't it be like development? At least there you know that if you put in the effort to do a proper job, you won't have to do the same thing again, and again, and again, and .... 
I ache in places I didn't know I used!

The solution seems obvious: Build a gardening-bot!

There's an app for that it's called "Teenage Offspring".

Great idea, build big metal machines that are stronger than we are and give them one of the most awful jobs in the world ever so they'll come to hate us and want to kill us 
At least those are the emotions I'm feeling when gardening

...and give them lots of sharp objects...

Gardening really sucks.
I'm already regretting ever getting one

But compare it to the other option: QA...
However it looks the same mostly if you look closer...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Because you're approaching the problem like a SysAdmin, not like a Dev.

Just think of gardening like working with a development team. Yank out the weeds, wait a week or two, yank out the weeds again, etc. etc. etc.
At least, as a solo developer, you can say you're doing "organic programming" because the weeds are replenishing the lost nutrients in the soil.

Those of us stuck in squalid garrets who would kill to have a garden (and a Mrs Us to make us tend to it) say suck it up, you wimp! 
Just remember there's always someone worse off than you ... and it's usually me!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Here is where you really get to appreciate the wife - she does the cleaning/cooking/laundry etc on a daily cycle. I can't imagine doing a job like that, repeating endlessly the same work over and over again with no hope of reprieve. I know the jobs are essential and I thank Ghu there are people who can do them.
Have sympathy for me, I will be moving from a condo in Singapore to an acreage in Cairn next year so I will get to know the garden really well.

Are you mental? You finally get to move away from the oppressive heat and humidity of Singapore and then choose the oppressive heat and humidity of Cairns.

Yeah yeah I know but I cannot afford and don't like Sydney and the rest of the family is in Cairns. At least it has a little variation, I'm looking forward to the winters where it gets down as low as 24 ah bliss.

I didn't think you would move to Sydney, but thought you may have moved a little further south to allow for things to be a bit cooler and a bit less humid.

Nope, we are an equal opportunities familiy!
I.e., These days I do most of the cooking, cleaning, laundry, ironing, and now it would seem the damn gardening as well...

Could be worse; in Spring, we have sandstorm season. Egypt is returning Sinai to us, 1 million tons at a time... 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

You have my whole-hearted support for that comment! But to be of help, I find the Karcher with the rotary brush attachment a much better way to clean the patio and drive. Neither you nor the surroundings etc. gets covered in detritus. It is easy and clean enough for Her Indoors to want to have a go as well; a request I do not discourage too vigourously.
I also found, many years ago, that an accidently prune of Her Indoor's favourite flowers soon put a stop to having to do any gardening. All I have to do is to cut the lawn, although sometimes I find that she has already cut it for the want of something to do. She just can't sit still until late in the afternoon when she enjoys a cup of tea.

Please point me to the proper discussion group and I'll head that way.
Item #1: Google does not lead me to the answer
Item #2: YouTube does not lead me to the answer. (YouTube is worse than nothing, those vids are incorrect and misleading)
(Apologies for sensible members here, I needed to be proactive for certain members here who will immediately respond with such inanities.)
The word "FreeCorder" appeared in front of my eyes. When I tried to find a copy (TomsGuide, and the Applian website itself) I am immediately taken to screens which want me to download video application packages.
I just want the audio.
I don't want the video.
Question: Am I going to have to use Audacity ? If so, then I will schedule twenty five hours over the next two months to learn how to do this.
If anyone has a method that actually saves a four minute sound clip in four minutes, I'm very eager to read it.

WalMart Cheap-O from four years ago.
I am trying to record a four minute sound file.
Opera (the web browser) plays it perfectly.
I have GoldWave.
