The sound from a pigeon on stage does not do this.
The reason is a coo sticks.
No SOTW for pigeons! I'll show myself the door.

Great one! I just shared with my teen age (13+) grand daughter. She is in a singing/guitar class. LOL

If I hit the Sleep button on my keyboard during daytime hours, the PC sleeps exactly as you would expect.
However, if I press Sleep late at night, the computer wakes up again after 3 seconds. This will happen exactly 4 times (never varies) and on the 5th attempt, it will reluctantly stay asleep.
Not yet established the time this change in behaviour occurs, but it may now become an obsession. I think I'll now check the device for evidence of fang marks, given my suspicion that the PC has joined the ranks of the undead.

So, the simple solution is, change the theme. Picked a bog-standard one, changed the wallpaper back to what I wanted and oddly enough, Sleep now works as expected.

Absolutely. Your question mark suggests you're a bit sheepish about answering... ? 
Anyway, YAUT!

The word leapt to mind, but I could only fit it to half the clue: "turn back time".
Hence the question mark. Still don't see the other half!

I thought this one was designed for you, too!
"Away" is the (internationally) standard command to a sheepdog to tell it to circle to the left (anticlockwise). "Come by" for clockwise. You can hardly turn the telly on these days for some celebrity having a go at shepherding (or beekeeping)

I was putting off doing the ironing.
Done now ... while watching an episode of House to distract me from what I was actually doing.

I know the answer but don't understand the clue 😙

I'm so close to getting this working but it has become a pain in my hide due to a hardware conflict between my UART and the onboard flashing system. The bottom line is every time i reprogram it i have to disconnect a particular wire, like defusing a bomb. Except the only thing that blows up is my flash attempt.
It's the beginning of the next evolution of my Prang MIDI controller - a gadget for musicians that allows you to "sample" entire MIDI scores and map them out to keys on your keyboard for triggering playback during a performance.

I've basically got MIDI input working after a huge struggle because I had my RX and TX lines crossed, and my MIDI cables crossed. The former was my fault, the latter was due to bad label orientation on the part of the cable manufacturer.
Anyway, I'm super happy about that, but also bummed out because my dev cycle just got really long unless I can figure out a way to fix this conflict.

Pass "that" wire through a simple switch. Label it something like "program/run".
Then the fun part becomes remembering to toggle it at the appropriate moments.

I thought about that, but decided to spend a little more time fiddling and found out that GPIO 12 on my MCU causes the boot to fail if it's pulled high on start. Well, that was my RX line.
So I moved the serial over to pins 32 and 33 and presto! no more conflict.
Soon after I posted that too. Sometimes just getting something out into the ether will make a solution come to me.

I usually switch my TX and RX lines. Weird that you would do it backwards!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

The issue was I was confused because of the orientation. I assumed TX and RX on the breakout module were telling me the *destination* pins, not the source in this case, which seems obvious to me now.
