OK, so I'm working on changes to image upload code and I need a test image to work on... Digital photos directory; "Ireland 2004" - that'll do. I never got round to uploading those, and they should be safe; nothing worse than perilously beautiful views.

I pick a random image from the directory, the updated code works as it should, but I get...



And no, she didn't come to Ireland with us; how that image ended up in that directory I truly know not.

cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!

[perlmonger.livejournal.com]

Yeah. She's good at that.

She's also good at Sharp, and at Killing Things. Quite versatile, really :)

she's also being good at sleeping under the study rug at the moment, with potential squishing in her future.

It's a cat. Yes, and?

I dont think you're going to get it, if you havent by this stage Liam :)

They're just cute, and lovely (and evil and sharp at times, but that's par for the course)

Well, I mean, /my/ cats are cute. (I say "my". The Evil Ex's, really. YKWIM.)

But nothing's *inherently* cute. I can sort of see kittens 'cos baby anythings are generally cute. Except the sort of naked pink wrinkly things with bulging eyes. And maggots and things. OK, *most* baby things. I'm not big on kittens myself (tho' I can't resist puppies and tiny rodents, especially after the fur comes in) but I can see that.

But I don't get the thing of people gushing over random cat pix.

I know people who can't walk down a street and see a cat without going "oooh" and beckoning to it. I mean, I love dogs more than cats, but I don't do that with every dog I see...

Just seems odd, is all. Disproportionate.

I've been in the pub all day. Drinking mineral water. But the last thing I had was two pints of Diet Coke. I don't /do/ caffeine any more. It's nearly 6 sodding AM and I'm vibratingly wide awake. But not terribly coherent.

Did I mention I'm now ZZ9 president? Come join!

Aww... I want one.

No you don't. They are Evil. They puke, they crap, they kill disgusting things and bring them in. Just Say No.

[ex-stevewpal562.livejournal.com]

I meant the cat.

[lproven.livejournal.com]

So did he. And he was right, too.

I believe Pete's housetrained now...

[ramtops.livejournal.com]

oh yes. He is *now*.

[perlmonger.livejournal.com]

yes dear

[lproven.livejournal.com]

Thought so...
