Now that autumn is here I have started a leaf clearing business.
I'll soon be raking it in.

Unfortunately it now costs the equivalent of a major forest for one ship's peanut.

No good. Gardening wellies are green, not red.

If you limit your business to clearing only certain types of leaves, you can improve your margins by reselling them for medicinal purposes.

So we can expect lots of news on your new website "Leaf Bucket"?

Please note that in some areas noughts are always replaced with zeros by law, and many facilities cannot recycle zeroes - in this case, please bury them in your back garden and water frequently.

I live opposite a grassed area with maybe a dozen large trees on it. The last couple of autumns an old fella has turned up with a rake and many, many, many large black bags and taken the fallen leaves away.
I assume he is composting them.

Given your experience in turning-over stale jokes here on the Lounge, I suspect you'll clean-up.

Well, what weekend?
I spent the whole damn weekend working for school / final projects, and only managed to bug off to the local bar for a coffe (YaaY, half an hour off work).
Now, why that? Because the sadder teacher buggers can't adjust their project assignments between different topics (between each other).

'Nuff said, there will be an Arduino board with a GUI as the outcome. And a Syslog Design document on how to implement it on .Net.
*Grumbling noises*
You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."

Sounds like a productive weekend then. Just moved and haven't unpacked all my Arduino stuff yet and am dying to get back doing some projects.
Before I moved I tore apart a couple of old printers and salvaged several heavy duty stepper motors and managed to set up a breadboard motor controller and write the firmware for running it and wrote an article and published on my site but that's as far as I got.

Let's hope this[^] is just a bad joke. Or maybe he's playing one of the Robins who were killed, hopefully in a painful and true-to-life manner.

Give it up. Nobody reads this editorialized garbage.
That's wut I meant.

Ah. Thank you for the well-constructed - and useful - feedback. However, I'm afraid that thousands (and some items tens of thousands) of people disagree with you.
Too bad, so sad. I will be continuing as long as Chris wants me (not you).

Don't let the dipstik annoy you, the editorialisation can be the most amusing thing sometimes.
