Last night before Figment came over, a certain item of mine, teal-colored, an item that is very dear to me, and one that my Kittenhate readers will be familiar with (if the reader is not familiar with http://www.kittenhate.com, perhaps the reader should consider that it is not safe for work before investigating, and if the reader is not comfortable learning about anything I might log on Kittenhate, perhaps the reader should not read my personal Kittenhate account), ceased to function as designed.

Since I've had two previous items of this design fail in this exact manner, I must conclude that the rheostat has a design flaw. A great pity, as the rest of the item is approaching perfect for the intended purpose...
