@JingleDJ Thanks! I've done a bit more reading and experimentation and (along with some other suggestions from folk) I'm fairly confident about things. But it's not natural is it?!

Anyway, it is what it is. No changing it now - although installing PyScript or AppDaemon is appealing (even though I've never used Python in anger (yet...) - I'd still be a lot more productive I think)...

"Get into IT." they said: "You'll find it interesting and rewarding, " they said.

Reality is always very different. #HoHum

@pzmyers @michael_w_busch @mrbellek @nyrath Interesting. I liked this paper, but def true that patches of random idiocy and overconfidence seem to be as common among the brainy as anybody else 😬 #HoHum

Today some people will have a face like a slapped arse, given their toys were taken away yesterday. #HoHum

That feeling when you get what appears to be a decent second hand Hard Drive to replace a failing one in your #NAS only to find that the #SMART test sticks at 90% and does not complete...
