Beware of Cat

Back in 1992 or so there was a cat that would hang around the Fang Gang House in Madison and I called the cat "Claude" (because it's like "Clawed") and Milt call the cat "Mr. Roarke" but I thought that was a dumb name so I made a trading card for the cat with the name "Claude" on it.
I'll never name anything Claude (or "Clawed") again.

It should also be noted that beyond the ethical, political and environmental issues with this is that it doesn't work:
1. There is on average no mid to long term productivity gain with actual real-world software development that isn't just a "wow see what it can do" demo. (Multiple studies have shown that now.)
2. It won't help with 90% of the work when professionally making software, which, believe it or not, isn't coding. 90% of the work is designing and planning the software (these are things that happen both upfront and during development).
Maybe you have seen the recent Microsoft thing rolling back features in Windows they added?
E.g. Copilot in Notepad. What they did is essentially outsourcing project management to developers who then outsourced it to LLMs. But an LLMs can't plan and design software, and arguably barely can even generate code that works (as in reliable and performant). So now they have a buggy mess with features no one wants and they're rolling it back.
There's no silver bullets in software development.

Guess the cat is proud of herself. Wife was in the other room so I placed a fried egg and small piece of ham on a plate by her chair Cat was asleep on the sofa on her heating pad. Figured she would not notice and had never seen her express interest in eggs before.
Went into the other room and a few minutes later heard the wife yelling at the cat. Came out and found the cat had taken her egg and ran behind the sofa with it.

Just patched a long fiber link, which would've absolutely _sucked_ to get CAT.7 cable through.

This is nice \o/
What I want to say is: Don't be afraid of fiber for DIY networking people, it's awesome and often muuuch better than copper cable!

I was lying in bed with a cat on me and the window shade decided to spontaneously roll itself back up scaring the crap out of both of us. He ended up leaving the room, probably because of the ghosts. I am still here. Alone. Afraid. Help.

I recall that a long time ago, someone told me I'm acting like a cat. Curious it didn't get me thinking; though I guess I didn't really know any cats back then.

Our little cat just came running into the bathroom, demanding, as he does most mornings, no matter how cold, that the window be opened so he can sit in the sill and look outside.
And then he saw the storm outside and boom he’s gone. LOL

A few pencil sketches I made of our cat Loki. Trying to get into drawing with almost no experience, and I love how even on this small example, sketching the same object three times already shows some immediate progress. :blobcatnomcookie:

Cat Heads in Space: The Novel That Grew a Body
Some books begin as sentences. Others begin as outlines or fragments scrawled on napkins at two in the morning. This one began as a sound. Specifically, it began as the sound of my own voice reading a line about a cat head floating through space in a Life Helmet, arguing with another cat head about whether their ship had a name, and realizing that the argument was funnier and sadder and more philosophically loaded than…

Not joking.
That being said, I will always respect other people's pronouns and you should too. :3

Puppies and cats are always fun to watch

1. Put your jacket on to walk the cat. Recall that you were supposed to fix the stitching.
2. Carry the jacket to your room to take care of it as soon as you're "done with this shit".
3. An hour later, notice the jacket lying next to you. Well, you'll manage to stitch it before the bath time.
