    The problem is they keep getting married. (Hmm I should probably re-phrase that, oh well)

    I can think of a few actually... just not sure of their current availability.

    I take it you'd be willing to travel down south?

    Re: Rep re-set?

    Hmm, looking at the poll and assuming that people who want the rep reset have only clicked the first one, it's not a popular option ~ about 3/23 at the moment; what's that about 8%? So about 90% not in favour at the moment. Doesn't look promising....

    Take care,
    Christopher

    No, but what benefits do you have from using your phone instead of normal switches?

    As Sarah Sidle said, us geeks should be revered, so perhaps one of your friendly goddesses might be willing to travel north?

    Or is that another reason why I'm single?

    Normal light switches don't make a soft but cool "plip" noise when you switch them.

    Because it goes "plip".

    Can you record this sound and post it for us so we can all find out what we're missing out on?

    Not at all. Voice activation is the obvious solution.

    No. Found out yesterday the b*stards at Motorola didn't put a Bluetooth API in the Java implementation in the V3. So I'm stuffed. Until I can get hold of a V3i ....

    I appreciate it's lower tech, but perhaps you could use a microphone to record this wondrous sound? Who knows, you may even get rep for it.....

    Re: Rep re-set?

    I just got a rep comment with a grey, instead of green, box beside it. The comment was positive and my rep total (I don't think) has changed. The person who repped me has a power of one. What happened?

    This may be what happens when you can't rep anyone until you have spread it around some more...

    Yesterday I found myself trying to rep David Franklin yet again....I think he has been incredibly witty this week. .

    Anyway, as I had already repped him to the limit, instead of being told to go away and spread it, I was offered a box to make a comment for him. I imagine he would have received my comment alongside a grey box.

    The box said:
    You must spread reputation points around before giving to the same user.
    However, your comment will be added without reputation points.
