Blog2013 ≫ Broken stuff

Annoyed with my butt pump, it has just stopped working. I've tried everything, it gives an initial spurt when it is turned on, and then continues to make the right noises, but just does not pump water. I haven't used it much, and think I still have the receipt so will try taking it back.

Next broken thing our logitech harmony one remote. Not very impressed with this, though I've had it for a while. It has never been 100% with our setup, and now it seems to have got weaker and weaker, you really have to aim the remote accurately. I don't think it can be the IR sender I have from keene.co.uk1 - we're using the same technology to send the signal from the original remote to the humax from upstairs and that is all working fine. I am hoping it is the battery just being a bit weak, so am going to replace that. If it's not that, then the whole logitech harmony one is a useless waste of money.

Lastly, I broke a bit of this website on Friday, by trying to speed it up a bit too much. This website starts costing me real money as of today, my free trial of Amazon hosting is over. I think it will only go up to about a tenner a month, we'll see.

Nice sunny day today though. Went out for a lunchtime walk, it is very summery out there.
