Today I've started 3 Usenet posts, 1 live journal entry, and an email and deleted them all. Bleh. My brain hurts. What there is left of it, anyway.

… websites with black backgrounds and red text. Oh and those that change your cursor. Blech. That's all.

Any ideas as to how I can help Mai-Lyn get over the loss of her buddy? I'm trying to give her as much attention as she wants. She's more vocal than usual (that's a lot for a Siamese), she's more clingy. She's also been slightly more tolerant of Pandora, which is good. I hope that maybe they'll become friends now. Can't really get a kitten right now for her – and I'm not sure how she'd take it, anyway. At 12 she's as active and playfull as a 3 year old.

When you have a website that you care about, and update fairly often, you like to know where you get visitors from. At least, I do. It's amusing to see the search phrases that result in hits. (Scary sometimes, too) I don't advertise my site much at all, just a link on usenet and email sigs, and of course from my journal page. So I'm browsing through my counter stats, actually looking to see if a post that Rob made had gotten any attention, when I notice that I'm getting a lot of hits to Kamir's page from various livejournal…

My beloved husband () has been playing around with creating graphics, a thing called “photoshopping”. Not that you need Photoshop to do it, of course. He&apos;s using Gimp. Anyhow, he made the rainbow bridge picture of Kamir for me, and now he&apos;s done it again. Due to an amusing thread on a usenet newsgroup, he&apos;s crucified Ronald McDonald. Some things just aren&apos;t right. <grin>

I have to put my baby to sleep today. It&apos;s time – he&apos;s in too much pain and I have to do it. :( He&apos;s been with me for 11 years – through many moves and several boyfriends. He went through a man-hating period, but fell in love with my husband. Perhaps the furry mouse Rob brought to our first date helped. This sucks.

And why do I use the british spelling for behaviour and colour?

The following is posted for my husband, , &apos;cause he says no one reads his journal. Well, I say, no one POSTS in that journal, either, now, hmm?? Well, the straw the broke the camel&apos;s back came today. I got another newsletter from Barnes & Noble that was web bugged. Plain and simple, I&apos;m not going to take it from companies that think they can gather information on me without my explicit permission. The following is my letter to them, to the newsletter comments, investor relations, E-mail according to Yahoo! finance, and a guess at the President&apos;s address Due to…

There’s a web bug in this post. It was sent from Barnes and Noble to my husband. We decided to poison it. If you’re as annoyed by deceptive marketing as we are, feel free to put this bug in your journal, or anywhere you’d like: <IMG SRC=”http://email.bn.com/cgi-bin6/flosensing?y=Fgh0Cch5S0Bzi1″> Err… what’s a web bug?? Glad you asked! See the gobbledygook in the tag? The “Fgh0Cch5S0Bzi1” part? That means that when Rob opens that email “they” (in this case Barnes and Noble) know that he read it. They could also collect other information, such as the IP address of the computer that fetched…
