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.

Buenas trades, recien empiezo con un proyecto y no se cuanto cobrar por el, consiste en registro de usuarios, clientes, productos y llenado de informacion por medio de asp.net core, manejando bases de datos y generando reportes de produccion con graficos etc. Todo el proyecto esta destinado a quedarse con el cliente (codigo fuente y manual tecnico del servidor).
Soy de México y pensaba cobrar 10,000 pesos (500 dls) por un mes de trabajo con el software. ¿Esta bien el precio considerando que el código se lo quedan ellos y todo lo que se tiene que realizar como manejo de bases de datos etc? ¿Puedo justificar un precio mas alto por todas las funcionalidades o manjo de informacion en bases de datos que requiere el software? Espero me puedan ayudar, muchas gracias.

I need guidance in relation to crib charging for a job as a freelancer
Good trades, I have just started with a project and I do not know how much to charge for it, it consists of registering users, customers, products and filling information through asp.net core, managing databases and generating production reports with graphs etc. The whole project is destined to stay with the client (source code and technical manual of the server).
I'm from Mexico and I was planning to charge 10,000 pesos (500 dls) for a month of working with the software. Is the price right considering that the code is kept by them and everything that has to be done as database management etc? Can I justify a higher price for all the functionalities or database information required by the software? I hope you can help me, thank you very much.

A contractor often charges twice as much as the usual salary because (a) you have to pay your own benefits, (b) maybe provide your own computer, (c) are always looking for your next contract, and (d) have to pay all of your employment taxes.
This sounds like a contract for a senior developer, so someone doing it in the US might have a salary of US$96K per year, or $8K per month. A contractor might then charge $16K. But the cost of living in Mexico is considerably lower, so salaries are also lower.
This site[^] says that the average developer in Mexico City earns about 50,000 pesos per month (salary plus other benefits), in which case you should consider asking for up to 100,000 pesos if this is a full-time contract.
EDIT: If you are using existing software and not developing any, but simply entering data and generating reports, then my estimate is too high.

Thank you very much for your answer. I use your comment to have a better consideration when making a final decision.

Otherwise one of you - either the client or you - are unlikely to be happy, which means a poor relationship, which spells trouble. In this instance, if you've already suggested a price/rate and then you increase it tenfold, as the answer above suggests, that will lead to a very unhappy customer; or at the very least, put doubts in the customer's head about how reliable / knowledgeable you are.
Good luck, hope it all works out for you.
