I do not pretend to be a manly man. I am very excited for WALL*E to come out. And yes I will prob cry while watching the movie.
Wall-E Spotted in LA! from Blink on Vimeo.
Oh man that was a hard pic to get. Theresa whispered “grab that camera and get over here all sneaky like”. This does not happen often.
KT is now drinking from the toilet which is really cute. he uses his paw to see where the water level is and then gets all frustrated when his paw gets wet.
Little bugger is gaining weight like crazy. He was so skinny when we rescued him and tipped the scales at 2.4 pounds. I am sure he is much heavier now. He has many safe spots all around the house and uses them to mess with the dogs. He darts from one to the next while the dogs chase in utter frustration. He loves to taunt the pups. We still put KT in the bedrooms when we are away, but I am sure they all get along fine enough to stop doing that here soon.
He got let out in the back yeard on accident with the pups, did not run away though, just kicked it in the sun. His brother was adopted by the feral children two doors down. That poor cat will prob not live long after seeing how those feral children treat it. I have seen it in a tree, hiding under cars, being carried by its collar, and used to play catch with.
KT’s food dish is up on our plant stand. He loved the jungle of houseplants, but we took them outside and grew some kitty grass that came with his food dish. Figured out it is just barley and wheat, but he likes to nom nom nom on it. We had some marigolds on a table and he was in heaven.
gmatt posted a pic of his pup which reminded me of this south park clip.

For some reason ubuntu 8.4 just did not play well on my work computer. I was rebooting a couple times a day from stuff locking up. I like debian based distros and looked for an alternative. I have tried linux mint before and loaded that up. I was not aware how close to ubuntu it was though. Even the sources.list is 3/4 ubuntu repos. They change a few things and offer more multimedia stuff installed by default, but it is built on ubuntu and feels the same. I have yet to have an issue in the past couple days. Me happy.

I saw this link a few weeks ago and got all giddy. I found a forum post about the progress for my canon camera and followed along. It is almost there now. It was not working last week. But now it is working alright for me.
What is CHDK?
CHDK is a firmware enhancement that operates on a number of Canon Cameras. CHDK gets loaded into your camera’s memory upon bootup (either manually or automatically). It provides additional functionality beyond that currently provided by the native camera firmware.
CHDK is not a permanent firmware upgrade: you decide how it is loaded (manually or automatically) and you can always easily remove it.
It does not change the camera software, just puts a software in front of it, enhancing the options. Like a live CD that gives your cameras hardware the software to do what the expensive point and shoots software allows. I get the features of a $300 + camera with the same hardware for the lower cost model.
My camera is a SD750 and it is not totally cracked yet, but once it is completely cracked it will be really cool.
Currently it shows an accurate battery level with a percentage. (The orig only told me when it was a minute away from dying)
It shows how much space is left on the memory card. (only available if you wanted to format the card)
And I am not going to go into the enhancement menu cuz it is huge. It is amazing.
I am still bewildered by the effort involved in this project, and how little 2 bags of rye grass seed covers. I headed back to ACE to get two more bags of rye grass and some generic seed grass to get that lawn kicking. The straw was itchy to put down, but it will keep the dogs from dragging in all that dew covered fresh dirt in like they did this morning.
My arms hurt.

Michael Jackson is apparently so good that NASA feels the need to share him with the rest of the universe
A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed.
