Wednesday

First of all I'd like to thank Jim Dutton from Illinois for sending me Steve Pate's "UNIX Filesystems", from my Amazon wishlist. Thanks a bunch Jim! You know, it's not that I write these programs expecting anything in return, but it's very nice to see people appreciate your work, be it an e-mail saying thanks or, in this case, making a developer happy by providing tools that in the end will result in more free software developed. So thanks again, Jim.

In other news it seems like Drupal is here to stay. The more I play with the system the more I like it. It's powerful, extremely customizable but still very easy to use. I still have to find a proper solution to migrate the old MT content to this new site. Most of the proposals I've seen assume a MySQL backend, which is not the case.

I was eating some Rice Krispies® and have discovered that Athene finds them fascinating. She just couldn't help herself from trying to pick some. Of course, in classic cat behaviour, once she's been offered one all interest has vanished.

I'd say it's been a very nice day altogether, save for the fact that I'm still waiting for Buffy Boy's recovery. It's interesting when one sees that only people who live with cats can truly understand how strong an attachment you develop to those little rascals.

Oh, thanks to Drupal's URL aliasing you can keeping getting the RSS feed from index.rdf, no need to change any settings.

Thanks!

Thanks for the good thoughts about Buffy Boy.

He hasn't thrown up since yesterday *knocks on wood* and is drinking water at regular intervals, so hopefully he'll be all okay again in a few days. Fingers crossed :)

I'm still kind of worried, though, even if serious infections and the like were ruled out right away. Yep, you do get VERY attached to the little monsters. :)

RE: Thanks!

I've been very lucky so far with Athene, but she once had a bad reaction to a vaccine and it scared the heck out of me, although she was herself after a few hours, so I can see how you feel. Hopefully we'll see BB go back to his usual stuff very soon.
