    Default Fantastic

    Hey Toddy,
    I'm sending this to all the cat owners I know... if for a laugh if nothing else.
    It was a fantastically sunny day to be out here in Scotland today wasn't it. Didn't want to go to work.

    The cat however was sunning herself in the garden all day

    I'm away later in the week and the weather's to turn. Loch Aweside and damp and midgies

    cheers,

    Default But

    Hey Toddy,
    A midge ridden midden it may be, but you're still getting outside to play in the fresh air... never let that be taken away.
    Just smoke bad cigarres and keep moving, worked for years in the forestry for me.
    You're an archaeologist aren't you? is there any localish projects that I could help out on to start to get a feel on the subject?
    Sorry if this seems to be a pestering thing, just interested.
    Goatboy.

    Thank you!

    Mine's not so bad, but I have many cat owning friends who complain about frustrating cat meets keyboard issues, so the link will be duely spread.

    I'd always assumed it was an easy thing to do... but sat here last night watching things running around..

    There was a spam thread... then there was just me in a new thread I hadn't started ... then I bumped another one... then there were 3 threads... then it changed names.. then there were 2 threads.. then there was only one... then there was a reply to one of my posts showing before I'd posted it


    It was worth watching just for entertainment value

    Top job Toddy

    Everytime I almost got things finally shifted someone else posted a reply that linked into one of the threads I was modding,.....and I was keeping an eye on the OP who started it all in case he/she was ready to send spamming threads since their profile showed they were still active on the forum
    In the end I reckoned spammer, two other mods agreed, and I banned the OP and removed his thread altogether.

    When Tony asked me to be a Mod, my first response was, "Are you sure ??? "
    it ought to have been, "Do I get a computer course first ? "

    cheers,

    I must admit it certainly sounds a good idea.

    There is nothing worse than just having typed 400 lines of code in html and have a cat jump on the keyboard and crash the whole thing.

    At those specific moments PAWSENSE rigged to a cattle prod rather than making an annoying noise would come to mind and I could pretty much gaurentee that it will work with both toddlers and felines.

    The down side is that html could well be classed as gobbledy gook in most peoples eyes and what is there to stop PAWSENSE from then trying to fry me when I am working
