So, apparently a gaggle of foster kittens is a momcat, 2 of her babies, and 2 orphans who are still nursing, all about a month old. One of the littler ones (her babies, likely the runt) gave us a scare, but she was just sleeping. The orphans are persistent and have been hogging [...]

Finally.
I don't know if this is a java6 thing or an openJDK thing, but finally you can chmod u+x a .jar file and run it and the OS figures out what it needs to do. Mono is newer and this has worked on its exe's for years.
Also, the default widget set is a little prettier. [...]

I installed the Panzer Plate. Very clever design, went on easily in about three hours of actual work. I used anti-seize lubricant instead of plain old grease, which I figure would work better, and it worked just fine. I also had to borrow a 12″ socket extension from my father in law, because you need [...]

If I had known that it was a Godzilla movie in the style of Blair Witch, I wouldn't have bothered – I got it more because I wanted to know what folks were talking about. Now see, I like bad movies – Evil Dead, hell, even Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter was at least funny. This [...]

Saw the Indiana Jones movie tonight. I will reserve commentary to save spoilers, but I did see an AK-74 muzzle brake on an AK-47. Now, this is not unusual per se… except it's 1957, which means that the '74 hasn't been invented yet.
Also, ordered me a set of these. I can wear a hat, listen [...]

The Ethic of Reciprocity, more commonly known as The Golden Rule, states: “treat others as you would like to be treated.”.
I was talking with Liz recently, and she had some great insight.
It does not apply to me.
The reason it does not apply to me is that other people don't want to be treated the way [...]

Liz and I watched Juno – very good movie, I highly recommend it.
I did my firefighter survival course today. Not good. The last thing I, as someone afraid of heights, needs is to toss myself out of a second story window and dangle my ass out by a survival rope. I panicked on my first [...]

I was issued a new Discover card. I call in to activate the new card and actually have to talk to a rep instead of using the automatic menu system.
This is annoying, and I mention it.
I was told that the reason I had to talk with a rep was because of the security issue.
What security [...]
