If it means updating Raspbian itself, I'm not particularly interested.
My Pi runs 24/7 without hiccups doing a few useful things for me
(like feeding Radio Caroline to my audio system, and providing a
'reminder' app that's accessible from any of my machines and OSs),
so I don't want to 'fix' anything.
[htop tells me it's been up 112 days!  The exclamation is the program's...]

I've instead just installed qtcreator on my Mint laptop. Not getting
all that much further yet -- tells me I don't have a valid 'kit'. with
no idea where to find such -- but I suppose I'll get there.

around, but I'll have to get used to Android when my Gemini PDA arrives!)
