This afternoon my SO asked me to help him use kicad, because he was having issues understanding how it was working.

I was a bit surprised but said "ok, sure", and found out that it has been having serious rendering issues and spent the rest of the afternoon and the evening trying to reproduce it around.

In the meanwhile, he was trying to understand issues with a firewall that wasn't working properly.

Then we were getting ready to go to sleep, turned the alarm clock on and... it didn't. Then the led blinked a few times. So I grabbed the multimeter and checked the power supply (it gives 4.something V instead of the 7 it is supposed to).

Then my SO and me looked each other, laughed, and we said "no. we're NOT debugging our alarm clock this evening".

This looks like an excellent time for a dead tree book (no, I'm not going to trust the ebook reader not to break, not this evening) and then a good night of sleep.
