    Afternoon denizens

    I just spoke to my mum - I decided not to phone her until lunchtime as she'd be catching up on sleep, but she'd definitely be awake now because of her diabetes - she has to eat at very specific times.

    She still doesn't sound very well at all

    On the other hand, she's happy to be home

    The other day, in hospital, they forgot to give her one of her meds. A few hours later she realised it had been missing from the assortment of pills she'd been given, and called the nurse over. The nurse insisted that it wasn't on the list, so she wasn't supposed to have been given it. She pointed out that the neurologist had said she must never go without that one, but the nurse was equally insistent that it wasn't on the list.

    "Could you do me a favour and turn that sheet over to the next page?" asked mum.

    The nurse looked vaguely annoyed, but decided to humour her... and lo! the list continued on the next page with one further item - the pill she hadn't been given

    So she now reckons that even if she doesn't have nurses on call at home, at least she and my dad have got a good chance of getting her medication right between the two of them
    I have doctors in the family - you definetly have to watch them!

    All the best to your mother - I hope she gets better soon.

      I've added the key debounce by the way...

      It even works.
      key debounce?

      Is this something to do with alien rectal probes?

        Timers?

        One.

        You don't think I'm using timers or interrupts do you? <eek>

        It's all in one humungous idle loop...

            Nope.

            It's to do with a little demonstrator of an electronic lock that I'm building for no readily apparent reason.

              methinks Churchill is still upset by NF's suggestion that he might get more than a temporary ban!

              Upset? Moi?

              I takes more than a red arsed baboon to upset me.

                WTF?

                Well, those that can, do.

                Those that can't, teach!
