My son (3 years old) gets up at 6.00 AM every morning, no matter if it's weekend or not...
...I don't have solution for this either, but at least you now know that you are not alone

Tell me about it! My two are woken and turfed out of their fetid pit at 6:45 to leave home at 7:30; any later and I can't get them to school on time.
My elder, bless her cotton socks, is awful. If I can get her downstairs and maybe even to look at a slice of toast by 7:20 then I am winning. This morning I even cooked BACON and she still didn't manage to get up. The weekends are however no different. She is a teenager and is permanently glued to her computer. Come meal times I sometimes just switch off the internet router rather than waste my breath calling her.

My daughter, now in her 30s with her own teenagers, has started implementing my successful strategy for extracting teenagers from their beds. 1 warning, wait 2 minutes and strip the blankets off and inject a glass of cold water.
You only have to do this a couple of times to demonstrate your willingness to drown the little sods, after that the threat is adequate.

I had the same problem for a long time. Woke up at 7AM no matter what and woke me up too with "Daddy, play!" Now that he's 11, he plays Minecraft online with his cousins so he leaves me alone. Wait it out.

After Friday's somewhat limited success I try again:
Strange animal, Griff with a point (7)

Normally, when people refer to me in the subject of a post it means some sheep related insult - so when I saw your post I thought "he's sticking his neck out with this one!"
Fortunately, I was glad to see it was nothing of the sort: just a tall tale.
I don't think a GIRAFFE is strange: incredible piece of evolution, and even proof of evolution as opposed to design in it's nervous system!

Well done.
My first thought was Griffin, but it didn't fit.
Then I was trying to add a compass point (NEWS) to synonyms of Original.
Now, I yield to taller thinkers.

Think of it as a tribute, definitely not an insult. Not many CP members have been honoured by anagrammatic inclusion in a CCC. Why don't you try to anagram megaadam? You have a chance already tomorrow!

Giraffe was my first thought too, but 'strange' confused me...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

"Strange" indicates anagram. AFAIK we have used this before.

The anagram indicators list growing fast - it is sometime hard to me to follow (I'm not native in English or CC either)...

I think "Griff with a point can be an animal" would be better

I have been trying to find out whether the free Community Edition of Visual Studio 2015 will accept the Windows Installer XML (WiX) plugin. In the end I decided that the only way to find out, is to try. So I downloaded and ran the VS 2015 Community Ed installer.
I did not bother to uninstall VS2012 Pro that I have on my machine. Uninstallation of previous VS versions, is apparently not required. (Except possibly for some of the 2013 versions?)
The installation was painless and took about 15 minutes. I now have both 2012 and 2015 on my desktop. The new version even imported my personalized settings from the 2012 version. I then ran the WiX installer. (You need at least version 10 for VS 2015.) To my delight the WiX installer reported that it is updating both 2012 Pro and 2015 Community Edition.
In case you wondered, as I did, whether WiX can be installed on the Community Edition: The answer is: Yes. However, make sure you install WiX version 10 or later. Earlier versions are not compatible with VS 2015.

AFAIK the difference between Pro and Community is only in licensing ... therefore all plugins should work as expected.
