It seems they were quite swept up in the topic.

hams reprogrammed stuck software automaton (8)
- Find a short word that substitutes for "software automaton".
- Twitter is full of #1. And if "software automaton" must be substituted, what does that tell you about hams? (Sorry, I just realized that this wouldn't necessarily be true, but it's a hint.)

Maybe setting cryptic clues isn't for you Greg

This actually made me laugh out loud

Yes, coming from Mr. Hendecad.

It was only because no one had heard of the word

Well,
For what it's worth... I solved your simple hendecad anagram clue. I didn't post the answer because I don't have time to be the daily setter. If you guys remove that requirement I would participate more.
Best Wishes,

I thought it was simple and was surprised nobody solved it - but you did !

Well,
I actually cheated and used a piece of software to generate anagrams and permutations of the head and tail of your clue. Apparently the word 'hendecad' is not in most dictionaries. I had to load an unabridged dictionary to get the answer.

I thought mine was simple too! It very much follows the pattern of yours from yesterday.
I will add another hint.
|
|
|
|
|
It was a good clue. Don't let them get to you. Your choice of 'reprogrammed' for the anagram indicator caused me to initially get stuck on HAM radio circuitry and associated jargon.

I'm pretty thick-skinned, but thanks. I actually thought it was good too, because it fit in with CP, much like my last one. I'd have gotten stuck on the technical angles too, but I have to stop with this risque stuff before everyone catches on to my shtick. I have another one that would result in a lifetime ban.
If you want to play but don't have time to set the next one, I'm sure you'll get volunteers.

MACHINES?
It sort of works for AUTOMATON (if pluralized) and it's got HAMS in it fro an anagram, but NICE / CINE I can't figure out ...

It's a 4-hour window, so you need to suffer for another 45 minutes. A good character builder!

 We have a winner. Well done!

I wouldn't have got it without the hints. That may well mean my brain is still not firing on all cylinders...

First off, sorry for hijacking your subject, Sander. Although obviously I can't be that sorry as I still did it 
So perhaps it is just me but I wonder if anyone else finds the following to be slightly more annoying than it should be...
Why is it that the people of the radio (possibly called "DJs") think it's really clever to talk all the way up until the first lyric of a song?
Now most of the time it's not really a problem and I couldn't care less, but there are some songs that should NOT be ruined with voice-overs! This morning's victim was Money for Nothing - Dire Straits. Arguably the best part of that song is the intro, so just seems pointless playing it on the radio if you are not going to let us listen to it.
Anybody else had a problem with this, and what song was it?

Not specifically that, but the continuity announcers on TV who:
1. Talk at half volume so I can't hear what they are saying.
2. Half screen (or smaller) the credits I am trying to read.
3. Insist on showing the trailer for the program that is on next (AIIC).
As for the radio, that is one of the reasons I switched to Radio 3 many years ago. And the dross that was on Radio 1.
