101.62 Make secrit confectionery. Second attempt tonight, with the aid of a new recipe, a sugar thermometer, and knowledge of what temperature it should reach. Cautious approachment of success, but it'll take a third batch to get there. In the meantime: nom! Sugar for dinner again.
EDIT: Baking parchment would be better than greaseproof paper. And I think I'll need a bigger dish.
101.69 Spend a day making no puns or innuendo. That will be tomorrow. No sticking it in, or sticking it out, and if I get a job done for someone using audacious and fast data fettling techniques, I'm not pulling it off for them no matter how happy it would make them. My colleague won the day today, by talking about my confectionery experiments: "You could take the results and feed them to your pets. They'd be your - guinea pigs." LOL! as the young people say.
101.39 Make theremin. Going to eat a sandwich then get the soldering iron out. *is nervous*
EDIT: Have debugged the theremin already! As in I opened the box and found a small fly had crept in there to die. Have removed it. Now nothing can go wrong!

Hopefully the small fly isn't a vital component of the Theremin, and the qualities of the generated sound isn't spoilt by missing it.

Oh, this I have to see... ;-)

A vow of silence might do the trick! [Or hanging out with non-English speakers.]
I want to see video of the rodent operated theremin. Maybe it'll inspire Colin to finish his theremin and put our indolent guinea pigs to work. [We have two females now--Pearl and Pepper. They're even _more_ food-oriented than Things #1 and #2.]
