RasterWeb!

We took a short break, a hiatus if you will, but we are now back, and we’re not alone…

As you can see, this site is now complete, as it features a photo of cats. Go ahead, check the manual. A web site cannot be considered complete until it contains at least one photo of some sort of cat. Whew, I’m glad that’s over.

Yes, these two cats, going by the names of Lucy and Tinkerbell, can now be found within our house. This would be because they live with us. We adopted them, they’re not related, but both of them were orphaned, and had no family. Now they do. The last relationship I had with a cat lasted over 20 years, so this could be interesting…

For all you dog lovers in the crowd, don’t worry, we’ll try to keep things equal. I mean, I still deal with all the dogs that seem to crap on my lawn way too frequently. I’m joking, we love all our animal friends. Except the birds. All birds must die! Ok, not all of them… Still, we’re not too fond of the birds… But what do you expect, we’re cat people now! (And oh what we have to look forward to!)

Like most people, I thought POOP was an acronym for People Order Our Patties, but it seems it’s really Perl Object-Oriented Persistence… Who knew?

LinuxQuestions.org has a poll to choose the 'Editor of the Year' so if you’re a fan of vi, emacs, or like myself, jEdit, go cast a vote. (You do have to register, but it’s a quick and easy process.)

We recently went to out to eat, which is something we don’t do much of, and in the old days, when you had to wait, you would give the hostess-type person your name, and they’d call it out when a table was ready. Not anymore! They handed us this big blue coaster with an LED inside of it. Oh, it had a lot of LED’s but only one was lit up. You hold onto this coaster and when it’s your turn the thing lights up like a christmas tree and starts to vibrate. Yes, it’s the Coaster Call from the folks at LRS.

I was actually surprised they didn’t take it a step further, and sell advertising space on the coaster call, because the first thing I thought when I saw “COOL BLUE” was that it was some kind of alchoholic berverage. Those guys at Long Range Systems might be missing out on a goldmine…
