I was up with my son until 21:00 last night, and then my wife put him to bed. However - because I had actually been using my PC as 21:00 passed, the rules didn't trigger, and I didn't set a time to stop using it. Ended up going to bed well after midnight. To prevent a recurrence, I am modifying the relevant rule as follows:
* when an activity finishes after 21:00 (footy, TV programme etc), switching on a PC (or continuing to use PC if you've been doing something on it with A) triggers an immediate forfeit (healthy sleep cycle trumps what other people think is important)
Regarding the idea in the previous entry about automatically opening a spreadsheet to record instances of good behaviour: so far, it's not working. Yesterday, the spreadsheet popped up while I was screen sharing with a work colleague during the day, and during the evening, it popped up while my son was playing a concentration game using the Neurosky EEG headset.
