Yay, Raeven! And, yay Kevin!
Now that's he's ok, I really want to ask: how on earth did a cat get a name like "Kevin"?

Hooray for a safe kitty!
My nieces got a kitten on Friday, and they named her Penny. Actually, they insisted on calling her "Kitten" so Mummy and Daddy intervened.
I just got home from work followed by a trip to Sainsbury's (where I had a sneezing fit featuring a sneeze so hard a little bit of wee came out) and I'm now sitting down to watch tonight's episode of Hollyoaks with some Spaghetti

LOL, it's a fair question.
When Kevin came to me, he arrived with his three siblings on St. Patrick's Day. Another neighbor had taken in their mother, who was pregnant when someone dropped her out here. I agreed to take the kittens. So because of their arrival date, I named them Kevin, Fiona, Michael, and Seamus. Michael disappeared fairly early on (probably encountered a coyote or something), and Seamus took up residence across the road at a neighbor's place. So I still have Kevin and Fiona, along with a third cat who didn't come with this batch. I can't remember what I originally named her, I've been calling her The Bit for so long.

I tried to snap some pics of him, but he's feeling shy. One day soon. 
All I have to say is.... 
Animals are more resilient than we sometimes give them credit for - and they're smart enough to seek shelter from the cold.
LOL, true... when they're smart enough to stay the hell out of trees they can't get back out of!!!

Running a long test on a hard drive that displayed some heat hiccups previously, as I need to fill that slot that I had errantly filled, otherwise the RAID 6 array is operating in degraded mode. (It can lose 1-2 drives and still function in a less than optimal mode. If a third drive fails, the entire file store would be lost.) It's been running for 5 hours, and says it needs 17 more hours to finish. Oh well, I have other tasks to complete.

Sorry if I missed a memo.
I had an attack of the stupids and was mean and nasty when I should have been building bridges. So I got kicked, for cause.
Like the song says, "Life's like a firework, you're only lit once, and you must stand and radiate correctly."
I was a firework that radiated incorrectly, and now it is done.
Fair enough.
At least now this is a place where you can "let it hang out" so to speak. 
Just glad you are OK.

Trying to make a questionnaire video about me, based on a favorite YouTuber of mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfh2S9Yss1E
Running into problems with the trim mechanism (Quicktime), but I might upload to vimeo as is.
