My place is over 100 years old and has plenty of 'interesting' quirks :P

Tell me about it! One of the reasons I started wearing braces is because the
pressure of a belt eventually gets quite painful.

>Will - you still making your little Yoshimi synthesizer boxes?

Yes. I've got two built ready to take to this year's SynthfestUK - I'm
being given a small bay there again this year :)

Each one is still slightly more refined than the previous one, but the SDcard
image is compatible with all of them, and the latest version includes
Rosegarden, Audacity, and a few utilities.

Availability of Raspberry Pi's is the biggest problem :(

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
