Gavin:

I find painting rooms relaxing too. But you're probably not local .... ;^)

As far as decorating .... you'd probably be best to reconsider, unless you like "early american Hamfest", or "tech tornado". (Seriously, my place is full of random technical junk. It looks like a tornado picked up the Dayton hamvention and dropped it onto my house. If I could move all this stuff out of the way, I could paint my place instead of all my friends places.

Update: Fixed salutation--For some reason, I was on automatic. I apparently thought I was replying to some bloke named "roboticus", rather than Gavin.

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.
