Don't know of many people that enjoy spending their days vacuuming - I fall into the category of people who have code which needs writing, and beers which need drinking - and alas - don't code and clean at the same time. That's the motto right?
But glory be - the wonderful wizards of Oz have delivered upon us a wondrous way to code, drink beer and clean at the same time! And no its not the latest i9 9980XE with 18 cores, nor new tricks for parallel programming! The answer is a cat riding a whirring disc of noise and cleanliness. But woe! these things are kuk expensive. A quick squizzle on pricecheck.co.za tells me they:
A) Are available in RSA
B) Go for anything up to R21000. (Irobot Roomba 980 Robot Vacuum With Wi-fi Connectivity + Manufacturer's Warranty - Irobot Roomba 980 Wi-fi Connected Roboti... | R21340.00 | Vacuum & Steam Cleaners | PriceCheck SA)
This makes me a sad panda - I can't dosh out that kinda moola.
So starts the infini-hunt for some cheaper alternative.
.-*quick google*-.
Oh. Dear. SpaghettiMonster.
There are a lot of alternatives these days.
*ping* One of the little men-with-packets running my brain has an funtastic idea - who better to ask than fellow Carbies who, like me, have great beers which need drinking, games which need playing and sights which need seeing.
