Well, if you want to learn about overcoming inherent perversity etc, you've "come" to the "Right Place. ;-)"

Cheers! Rich ------ The superpowers often behave like two heavily armed blind men feeling their way around a room, each believing himself in mortal peril from the other, whom he assumes to have perfect vision. Each tends to ascribe to the other side a consistency, forsight and coherence that its own experience belies. Of course, even two blind men can do enormous damage to each other, not to speak of the room. -- Henry Kissinger

Did you know that's a traditional physics 'stumper'? Simple gas taps, with a rectangular port that opens progressively as you turn the knob, have a horribly non-linear volume/angle characteristic (viscosity, turbulence, inherent perversity etc.) and it's exceedingly difficult to overcome it.

New house, new kitchen.



Bleeding nightmare sorting out where to put everything, just like sorting out a new workshop, is it not?



The first Spag Bol was OK, but I must put a LCD monitor in so I can see the recipies



Should the gas controls for the hobs be log or lin?

Arthur C Clarke wrote (something like): If an elderly scientist says something is possible, he/she is almost certainly right. If he/she says it isn't possible, he or she is almost certainly wrong.

This doesn't necessarily apply to mathematicians, of course.

Hi John, Nope, didnt know that. Probably have to use semi-log spaghetii from now.

But I did meet the lady ( at The Barbican inventors conf, couple of years ago) who invented the non drip TeaPot, who announced the design the day after a Famous University Profeesor announced, on analogue radio, that it was impossible to design a non drip Tea Pot

Never say Impossible
