My wood stove does not have an IP address.
Nor does my well.

I have to wonder whether this technology stuff will be useful in the glorious future when all the dilithium crystals are used up, or whatever it is we're using to live beyond our means, energy-wise. Of course we are not energy wise.

Anyway, my BBC Headlines are supposed to be updating themselves automatically and they don't. I googled the problem and found the advice "right click" ... huh. For a Mac , make that control-click, and you get a menu including "Reload Live Bookmark". It doesn't work.

The stove works.

The well works when we have electricity and a solar pump might be a Good Thing. I also have a good-old-fashioned hand pump. Haven't installed it yet, but Real Soon Now ...
