Get back to posting this sort of stuff in TPD!
This related, so far as I recall, to the unique method of writing software invented by some Esteemed Customer or other.
Ah yes, I remember who it was now.

The comments above, naturally enough, are mine.
This has to be in by May.
Despite these bijou problemettes with the code, he's got it writing in some obscure way to an LCD.
It sort of works as long as Zeity applies his claw in a specific place on the interface.
Though it must be said that I don't spell "Moisture" quite the way it's displayed.

Time flies when you're having fun
Esteemed customer has just left & not in a good move.
