    Sky/Sky+ remotes

    But Sky digital has only been around since October 1998... unless you have an old analogue box which will have stopped receiving "sky" channels in 2001 and only receiving analogue channels, which there isn't many of anymore I think...

    Testing a New Web App for Tradesmen

    Thousands of companies do. There's lots of full CRM / ERP web based services out there which (some very large multi-national) companies keep their full customer database, all transactions, phone records, accounting info etc etc on.

    Time is still an hour out.

    Um... probably because your timezone settings were set to GMT, but all the clocks in your house are currently set to BST (i.e. GMT+1). It'll be right at the end of October when you set all your clocks back to GMT.

    Convert dimmer to on/off only

    You could probably bypass the dimming circuit (difficult to tell without having the physical thing to look at), but it'd be easier and safer to just buy a replacement on/off flavour switch:

    Downlighters & a main light?

    A quick google will find you some. There'a few example photos on this site: http://www.wmboyle.co.uk/displayProduct.jsp?criteria=Uplighting_Cornice If my parents wern't away on holiday I'd get them to take a photo of their dining room as they've recently had illuminated cornices fitted.

    Downlighters & a main light?

    At our last house we had a 3 lamp fitting in the middle of the bedroom as the main light, then 3 downlights just infront of the balcony doors and 2 above where the built in dressing table was. These were all switched together and worked well - looked good and useful. Here we have a main 3...

    Upgrade transformer for dimmable low voltage wires system

    So... uh, maybe I'm missing something here... you have 60w of lamps, you want to add another 40w of lamps and then dim them to (psobably) a similar output of your original 60w of lamps... seems a bit counterintuitive to me...

    fed up with phone surveys?

    I have a few extensions setup which just play annoying music in a loop, when they call me I just transfer them to a random annoying tune. Quite a few call centers can't hang up a call in the first 5 minutes (without supervisor intervention) after it has been answered, so it's a good way to...

    Two holes for you to look at

    That BT work is more shoddy than usual... I'd have get them to fix that up if it was my house. Looks like they haven't even bothered with a drip loop, never mind finishing up the hole...

    sky HD question

    Nope, it needs to be connected to the phone line the whole time you're taking advantage of the cheap subscription on it (i.e. the additional £10 for multiroom)

    Thieving sods!

    Because they have a word association thread? In that case, you're a thief because we've had one going elsewhere since October 2004 :P
