That's either a really crappy TV remote protocol or you got some funky sunshine on your planet.

The TSOP series of IR receivers have versions that are harder to trigger so as to prevent interference from certain fluorescent light sources. But yeah, you'd think a decent protocol would take care of that.

Yes, it's got to be a really crappy remote system to be turned on by sunlight or random interference.

You gotta remember this has been about 8 yrs ago. Plus even that said people around here like their TV set's they won't replace them until it's clear they can't get more value out of it.

Poor "wages" coupled with a tons of kids an average "Mormon Family" ranges around 5 to 10 kids. Mom stay's home taking care of the brood maybe cutting coupons or other home business. The kids when their old enough pickup odd jobs which will make ends meet.

Funny how those things stick in our heads.

Actually, remember, we did have a few "worst/funniest or BEST OF threads over the last years", maybe a link to them would be in order. I will have to go find them.

Am I one of the few that will give good advice and still put some fun behind it too?

Speaking of what ever happened too... I haven't had a service related call from my buddy I did the boiler install for in several months now. I still get emails and a friendly phone call but no more boiler questions.

If any of you read my 'Safety or common sense first' thread in the **** chat area, you would know what I am talking about! Its a long read but well worth it for a gut buster laugh!

He is my real life Meshtecha or Walters or who ever you can think of that gets repeatedly beat down by his own work from not listening or following simple directions.
 
How do you tell someone they have unrealistic expectations.

I'm trying to tell some person in another thread you can't build a high end digital camera just cause you're too cheap to buy one.

Bill,

You do your best as you always do, even if they have no common sense.

Tell him, if you have to ask such simple questions, then you have no hope of completing such a difficult task.
 
Sometimes I tell people that I am not knowledgeable enough to mentor such a complicated project; that they should find someone smarter and/or more experienced than I.
