The Road to hell...

Is paved with good intentions.

But I'm not going there, at least not yet...

To anyone who may be worried that I'm about to "drop the ball" based on an off-topic argument that got a bit out of hand, the message is that I'm made of sterner stuff and fully intend to continue. Any rumours to the contrary can be knocked on the head here and now.

I've been off the 'net since yesterday, due to a nasty little gremlin which infiltrated my house electrical system and proved to be a real sod to find. As long as the total power drain was less than about 300W everything worked fine, but turn on something heavier and "Clunk" went the main breaker. We're wired for nearly 20kW, for goodness' sake! To cut a long story short, after an afternoon spent up a ladder in the supply cupboard with screwdriver, pliers and multimeter I finally tracked it down to an earth-neutral fault in the lighting circuit which was causing the RCD in the main breaker to trip. As I say, a swine to find as all the individual circuit breakers only affect the live supply, not the neutral, therefore everything interacts until you physically remove the wires!

Anyway, normal service has now been resumed. MP2 V0.04a is coming soon.
