Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.
got the kit from http://www.pvelectronics.co.uk and I'm quite satisfied that the clock is up and running after a few hours of soldering the stuff together I haven't finished the case yet that's why the PCB is exposed.

Oh wow, that looks great ... ... does it change the colours as well? ... ...
yep - you can either program fixed colours for every hour of the day or select some kind of randomized colour change mode in different speeds - unfortunately there's no tiny smoke machine installed

Get emacs. It's free.
notepad++ is free as well - but I might check it out. I don't really do uber-fancy stuff with these editors - just some basic webstuff editing.
Yep, notepad++ is a good one, it's true. If all you're doing is a bit of editing emacs is probably using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, as the saying goes.
2TB Seagate external hard drive set up. Now I just need to get into the habit of backing stuff up.
I bought one of these for a friend who uses Windows Vista and it took several restarts to set up. Bought one for myself, plugged it into my Linux (Kubuntu) box and it worked immediately - no restart necessary, no configuration, just automatically detected & working. We seem to have reached an age where Linux does plug-and-play better than Windows.
Linux and MacOSX can plug&pray USB mass storage devices just fine for at least 10 years. The problems start when you want to exchange data between those, and have to resort to a DOS filesystem....
