I actually sell robotic lawn mowers, and it is really great to see our review up there! In order to get a good clean cut in all your zones it just takes some planning on where to start and release your mower. If you release your mower in the same spot every time you will get the exact same mow every time. So one day put it on the left side facing east and west, the next time you cut your back yard put it on the right side facing north and south. So just play around with it some and you will get a better mow each time until you get it perfect.

MB: No worries, it's in the works. Five hours to set it up. Less than satisfactory on the back yard. Stellar performance on the front yard. I'm disappointed in how many zones I have to have and how many small patches I have to do manually, but I'm reserving judgment until I give it a couple of weeks. After the first pass of the backyard, I had an epiphany: Nobody who spends a grand on a robot mower is going to write a bad review of it. Fortunately for the world, I'm not encumbered by such pride. That's the short version. I'll give it a couple weeks and I'll give it a proper review. In the mean time, see

Dick, can we have a review of the mower? I’ve been thinking about one of these but can imagine some hilarious consequences of it going out of control, like carving up the wife’s newly planted borders or taking a dip in the pool.

I can’t believe he bought a robot lawn mower. I hope it destroys his lawn and takes his wife hostage while he’s out golfing.

As one of the 0 book owners, I would like to say that I make very good use of my local library (it has a number of these books on it's shelves)...

I am also currently looking on eBay for some second hand copies, but it looks like most owners like to keep hold of them!

Missed the April Fools contest, but I recently replaced the paid day off request template on our server with one that, when you press the print button, plays one of 10 brief “appropriate” musical selections I clipped from songs. Some examples: Big Bad Voodoo Daddy singing “So long, farewell, bye bye” and Barry Manilow “I can’t smile without you” or dire Straits “Where do you think you;re going?”

I had to refrain from some I’d have loved to put up there like Lyle Lovett singing “She’s hot to go, she’s ready, she’s hot to go right now,” and no one has reported the “issue” yet, but it’s only a matter of time, since summer vacations are coming up. It will likely get pinned on the originator of the template. Heh.
