A friend of mine just invited me to a Facebook group called "the snowball effect" (it's an experiment to see if they can get all FB users to be a member of the group). I checked the group page, and found a discussion on the board entitled "Atheists, your logic is flawed!".

The thing is, that (amusing read) is just the start of it - the actual discussion board contains other such gems as "All girls on Facebook are fat" and "Do you know why I'm fucked up?". The mind boggles... These people need answers ;-)

I've spent a few evenings getting The Cat upgraded. We're now on Fedora 8, Drupal 6.3, a new Netgear router, gigabit ethernet networking, and a bunch of minor systemsy stuff to make the Cat fly.

By now you've probably noticed The Cat looks a little different. This theme scores much higher on the Yslow scale. I'm going to call this theme "unfinished" - I'm not really happy with it, but as these things go I expect I'll get used to it and leave it as it is for another year ;-)

Download Firefox!I just saw this ad on funponsel. I'm sure it's not new, but it, erm, caught my eye. I'm already fully Firefoxed up, so it doesn't apply to me :-(

(completely unrelated, but I'm also enjoying Toyology)

Update: Nope, it's not new in the slightest. The pic is also on Flickr and here. Also related: firefoxies (which is slightly dubious ;-)

Now that England aren't even in it, it may be hard for you to figure out who to support in Euro 2008. I know I'm stumped... Until now! This handy guide helps you decide via an easy pointy-clicky interface, so simple even I could manage it (via GCB).

Come on Romania ;-)

This time, your daily dose of Coofer Cat was disrupted by... a thunder storm. Around the same time there was a storm (apparently in the Essex area), my ADSL router mysteriously lost it's DSL signal, never to return.

It was high time I sorted a few things out, so now we're running on a Belkin modem/router/hub, rather than the elderly Linksys router, wireless and modem separates malarchy I had before.

Let's see if I can keep the Cat up for more than a couple of days at a time now...?

The ESA's opened up applications to be an astronaut for them (as of Monday 19th). Working in space is now officially not a military-only job.

I'd like to apologise to all you Cat fans out there in Internet land...

My server's disk broke over the weekend. It's all fixed now, and indeed we're NASed up to the eyeballs so it doesn't stop us quite so much next time. We're not fully up to speed just yet, but give us a day or two and all will be well...

Sorry 'bout that. We probably need a better sysadmin ;-)

At werk, a colleague and I have been finding things like pull my finger and fart soundboard all a bit too funny. I've been enjoying Sikipedia too.

What do you buy for a woman who has everything? ...penicillin

After a very busy day, I managed to run 5K this evening. I'm very pleased because I hurt a paw on new year's day, and it's only just let me run again. 56 days later? Hmm... that's got a ring to it ;-)

HMP London: Open Prison: ID must be carried at all timesI love living in London. People do stuff like this and lighten my dark little life just a tiny bit.
