What mouse do you use?

[Zed Clampet]

Need to be able to remove or upgrade it as the case may be. Its possible a better answer will occur that isn't foreseen now and having physical hardware in the room you can't remove is always a pain.

I have a box on my wall in my bedroom, that used to provide me a seperate phone line just to use for Dial Up, Its sort of stuck to the wall so I can't remove it. its a perma reminder that I used to use Dial up about 20 years ago.
Also have a ethernet connection behind my bed but at least its still used.

This reminds me of how many remainders of heaters there are around here, from previous heating methods.

1. Chimney in one room that is blocked up (and has been for ever) - I can remember the wood heater that was there long ago.
2. Oil tank on outside wall for an old oil heater we had in the 70's
3. Electric heater implanted into a wall that has been there since the 1980's or so.
4. A thermostat to one of them is still in a room, its not connected to anything. Not sure which one it was for, maybe electric.

Had two lots of gas heaters since then but they both gone into roof.

Our house had ceiling heat originally. You had a thermostat on the wall of each room. It was a dumb form of heating since heat travels upward.

You are meant to have good insulation so that it doesn't just escape out the roof.

that is something we are going to fix this year... in theory. I have asked mum about it. House getting a lot of work this year, so not sure when it will happen.

Ours at least has vents in each room so it tries. It doesn't seem to be on as much this Autumn yet.

My grandmother and everyone in her area, had a giant furnace in her basement, and there was a hole in the floor covered by a metal grill that was about 1.5 x 1.5 meters, and the entire house was heated by heat coming up through this hole in the floor. It didn't have a fan, it just came up naturally. If your walked on the metal grill without your socks on you would burn your feet. And they had an upstairs, too, You just left the door to the stairs open so the heat would travel up.

I deleted the statement about the ceiling getting hot. That's what I thought was happening when I was 5-years-old, which is about the time we switched to central heating. It's very possible that 5-year-old Zed was confused

unless the entire in roof heating industry is in on the truth and just sell them to people who don't know any better, I suspect 5 year old Zed was confused.

We don't have a basement... there is a few feet between dirt under house and floor but nowhere near enough that I have ever wanted to go down there. So its not possible to mount heaters down there. So roof or walls were only choices.

we getting new glass in all the windows around entire house this year which will also aid in keeping heat in/out

its a good thing we don't have mods around here that tell us to stay on topic.

I know that the ceiling got, at least, warm because I remember my father putting his hand on the ceiling and mentioning it. It probably wasn't supposed to do that.

I'm gonna make this patented: A Central Mouse System! You have one giant wire for your mouse and you can drag it all around the house. Imagine, several meters of convenience, no need to worry about if the wire is long enough and with effortlessly gliding from room to room. It is bloody brilliant!

This reads like a Tim and Eric sketch. Thanks, Cinco!

Would be a great way to do something about my wife's 30 year collection of statuettes. Walk around a couple of corners and the cord gets taut. "It must be stuck on something." So you yank on the cable and hear the satisfying sound of things crashing down and glass breaking.

*brushes crumbs from shirt* Oh, shiiii... *cough* That is NOT my fault. I was watching original Matlock series for info about forum research activity and stuff, and @Kaamos_Llama most likely forgot his shift again. So, yeeeah *looks around with a sheepish look* I'll be heading down to the basement to fix those light bulbs again, seems they always turn off at the wrong time.
