#62Did Father Ted have much impact in the US? - it always seems v British/Irish in its humour (but that’s true of Monty Python of course and that obviously made it over there)
We loved it in Australia.

BBC America is a thing since 1998 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_America
I forget that shows from non-BBC channels in the Uk can get shown on BBC America.

#65One of the hardest things in Arduino-based designs is power savings, and this one is not an exception. This design has no power saving, which means it will only last few hours tops on the batteries. This could be improved, but the current design (ESP8266 + analog IR sensor) does not really work with low power. A good start would be to put a 2nd low-power micro on IR encoder that'd (1) count pulses (2) wake up ESP8266…
I think you can do even better and make one that draws no power when not in use - since the activation is a physical movement, you could design it in such a way that it closes a physical switch.

#67Now I want a rubber frog that croaks, “The Golden Age of Ballooning” (Monty Python reference)
I can do you a 9front release but that's my final offer.
