Excessive Detail, originally uploaded by Purplekitten.
I do realise that there aren’t hordes of gnomes lovingly hand-carving these cat treats, but at the same time I have to wonder about why the detail is there at all.
Smart as the [...]
so far, a piece of bread, a dead baby blackbird and some kind of rodent (also pre-dead, thankfully). These are the presents of the last 24 hours. The last one arrived in the last 5 minutes.
The bread was amusing. We heard her do the victory blorp last night, and were worrying about what kind of [...]

It’s a lemon on a ladle., originally uploaded by synx508.
For some time now /dev/husband has been wanting a ladle. So we finally purchased one. It is hanging on the wall in the kitchen with a lemon in it. [...]

(1) A person commits an offence if he does not take such steps as are reasonable in
all the circumstances to ensure that the needs of an animal for which he [...]
There appears to be yet another reason why I am cheerful about running Ubuntu Linux: not because it’s pretty and runs nicely on my laptop (better than XP does), but because I don’t have to sit here widdling myself everytime I open my web browser. Seriously, Windows makes me nervous. I use Firefox, with the [...]
As some of you may or may not know, I’m currently attempting to trace my family tree. I seem to be mainly using Ancestry.co.uk and enjoying myself greatly. Not to say that there aren’t a fair few changes I’d personally make to Ancestry’s software: it’s good, but could be better.
Having found the particular entry I [...]
I’m a great fan of Lush and have been for many years. I am endlessly taunted by their gorgeous array of soaps, knowing as I do that I dislike soap – even theirs – and the way it leaves my skin all rubbery-taut.
I’m not sure then why I decided to order some random items from [...]
In a desperate attempt to prevent the proliferation of sticky notes in the around-the-monitor department, I added a feature to our system to provide an electronic version – available from the toolbar – where users could store these scraps of information, with the added benefit that they could now copy and paste them.
