Kitteh's - a new batch.
A mom kitty has been hanging out the last few months...we knew she was a mom in march when she came to visit and was much smaller.
A few weeks ago she brought her kittens to us. We think she was living behind an empty house and someone just acquired it.
Feels like a great honor that a semi-feral cat trusts us with her kittens. They are living in our back yard right now and seem very happy and healthy.

Volcano simulator
So I got some kind of earth explorer proggy. Looks like a game for a seven year old, but I couldnt resist the "Volcano simulator" it promised. That and it was less than 2 dollars. (Anyone remember the paper boy from "Better off dead"?)
Got a thing for volcanos. Couldnt get it to run under xp yet...stupid thing has to install quicktime - even I dont think the simulator needs it. Dont expect much from the simulator - might have to design my own...perhaps with the hl2 engine.

Teh Catrix has you...
What is teh Catrix?
Its all around you. You see it when you go outside. Its there when you pay your taxes or take out your garbage. Unfortunately no one can be told what teh Catrix is...they have to be shown.
Dream Catcher (alias Peeper) killed this sponge pack for months. Somehow it kept respawning.
I have made an intense and deep study of cats, being one of the more intelligent of our species. Cats are extremely intelligent with massive attention spans. A large attention span is necessary to manipulate extra dimensional properties. Except for a few rare cases they are all very bright and hide amongst us and run teh Catrix. How many times have you seen a Cat just staring at empty space - guess again, that is teh Catrix in action.
I can tell you that we are not the masters. We went about things all wrong. A few simple questions easily sort this out.
Q: What is a human? - A: A primate
Q: Are primates predators or prey to Cats? - A: Prey
Q: Does the Cat do any work? - A: A Cat only does what it chooses to do
Q: Do Cats perform tricks at human whim? - A: No
Q: Do Cats come when you call? - A: No, they wait till they are ready to check on their human(s)
Q: Who does all the work? - A: Humans
Q: Who sees to all the Cats needs? - A: Humans
Q: Who scoops the litter box? - A: Humans
Q: Who opens the door at the Cats whim? - A: Humans
Q: Who pays outrageous vet bills? - A: Humans
Does this sound like the activities of being(s) in charge? Sounds more like a servant to me...
A lot of what you know and believe are lies. Things like "God made man in his image." Human politics? All a cover up to hide the real machinations behind teh Catrix. Quantum physics, hah - why do you think Schrodinger chose a Cat to be in the box...Cats are most like quantum particles and _may_ actually be quantum beings! How many times have you _almost_ seen one in two places at once. The Matrix gives it away too - a story about our reality being a sham...the black Cat (deja vu my posterior) presages much chaos and change in the film...at the end that same black Cat is walking around like it owns the place.
The Egyptians once worshiped Cats as Gods. Does anyone really believe the Cats would just give all that up. And the large Cats - they are part of it too. Zoos and circuses are just a trick to lull us into a false sense of security. You meet a big Cat in the wild - you _are_ food! No ifs, ands, or buts...except maybe yours.
Oh noes - tehy are watching, I must go now.

Strange snapping sounds
A few months ago late one night, the old Cat was sitting around spawning some code and heard a sound in the room.
Nothing presented itself for visual inspection, so we took a look about - and found nothing.
The noise was like a plastic ruler being slammed on a desk hard.
It happened again last night, and when we observed the system the main video display, a geforce 8800gt, was filled with artifacts. 3 electrolyte capacitors had blown...not leaked, blown!
Word to the wise: if you are ever computing late at night and hear a snap like a good cap gun - check your caps!

No humor section, so this will have to go under chaos.

LHC fire sale...
The LHC will be online in a few days - End of "Reality".
One of the first experiments is to recreate conditions existing during / after the big bang. There is a very small (but non zero) chance things could go terribly wrong.
I thought I would just have a possible last post here and say...
"So long and thanks for all the fish..."

Now I have a shirt for those kinds of days when it seems like I have a pile of odd bits in front of me and I have to solve the worlds problems (or when I really do have a pile of bits and actually do have to solve the wife's problems...)
The Gripe Writer flies again...
Got this in the mail recently. Its a marketing shill. nothing more.
