What, and ruin your record?At the risk of sounding sensible (!):
It does indeed sound like it is a recipe for a 'spicy meatball'....erm, egg...yah, thats it, egg...Mariasole wrote: Fri May 04, 2018 3:20 pm It will certainly be some nasty concept!
In fact, Richmond has also included "SEX" in its code.
That is an eggcellent point Jacquejacque wrote: Fri May 04, 2018 6:07 pm Sorry to interrupt the egg discussion, but I wouldn't use Richmond's handler. The "wait" command is blocking and will prevent any other use of LC during that time. And in some cases it will also block all background OS activity too.
In other words, better to 'boil your eggs' than to 'boil over' eh? And what ever you do, don't get a boil on your eggsrichmond62 wrote: Fri May 04, 2018 6:58 pm I don't know anyone who can multi-task while they are "boiling their eggs".
