Right you are. I already started on a class that will have my signature on the toilet paper electronically, as your other message suggests. Right now I've got it working with a timer, but I don't like that all that much. It urges for some synchronized process, which is btw exactly why I am here in the middle of the night. But okay, physically it works.
The paper I buy now is just blank, and I feed it to a dot-matrix. It's noisy though and not the best for concentration.

>p.s. good that they're not full duplex. Wouldn't like the flushed data to return, or stay in a dirty buffer until rebooting.

Right on that one too. Didn't even think about it !
And yep, change boots won't help either.

I'm not sure whether I am over-creative now, but I just thought of making a VPN connection to the office, and have the triggers in here only. The pipewidth there is much larger. But somehow I feel problems coming up with regards to the object to spread. The class hierarchy isn't complex though.
When my RemoteFlush class is ready, I'll post it here. RPS should also solve the noisy matrix prob.
