To get stuck toast out of a toaster

I have so done that before, and not just once!

To rewire a plug? Scissors.
To ease the lid from a paint pot? Expensive-and-used-to-be-sharp-but-now-has-a-big-ding-in-the-blade chisel(s) .
To scrape wall paper from a wall? Don't know - but I had to go and buy a plasterers float and a big bag of finish plaster to fix the damage. Oh, and learn to plaster (a bit).
To prune a chilli bush in the greenhouse? Pliers. Then left in a puddle.
To tighten screws in a door hinge - club hammer.
To smooth a bit of fence that gave her splinters when she leant on it? Power plane!?! Would have been nice if she had checked for nails first, but hey? The blades aren't too expensive, and they only take an hour or so to replace properly.

I'm thinking about usual stuff like workflows, application layers, architecture... etc

UML - Enterprise Architect
Class diagrams - Visual Studio / Enterprise Architect
Screen shots - Fireworks, Photoshop, Paint.NET

Visio?

Nope. I have no need for it as other apps have this more than covered. I have it installed, but I never use it.

Paint for every diagram.
And notepad for code.
I am beyond oldschool.

Wimp!
For real men:
Notepad for every diagram.
And paint for code.

My God! That could work! Monochrome would be easiest, Black pixel for 0, white for 1. Now there is a possibility for my small series of Tip/Tick articles designed to get lazy student thrown off their course...
So far I have:
1) Converting numbers to words via a monolithic switch statement.
2) Converting numbers to Roman numerals via a huge database.
It's worth thinking of
3) Doing something homeworky by pixel manipulation of an image control.
Hmm. Need to look for an opportunity...

Believe it or not, Visio is pretty much the best I have used for building diagrams of any kind, from drawing direction maps for company coming into town, to network diagrams, to simple flowcharts...

We're going to be there this weekend (got a meeting on Friday, but the weekend is all ours).
Anyone fancy a beer?

Surely alcohol would be the major expense though so any assistance would be gratefully received?

Aw
The trick as ever is to have realistic expectations in the first place.
