Might be a few things going on for people, and I see the actual St
Patrick's day is on the Saturday, so aiming for a pint on the Thursday

Interesting --- there are good points there about long-term
serviceability and control of things in your own home.  I don't know

funding for development of a free-software-based heating controller!
