Random Rambling

The giant feline became an internet hit dubbed 'Catasaurus Rex' when he was advertised on the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals website.

Corporate Blogging Blues

One of my functions at work is to have a blog. For those who blog out in the wilderness of the internet, it may sound like a sugar coated based wannabe blog. However, there are some advantages on doing this:

• It looks good in your performance review. At least you can show that you can do more than being cranky all day.
• You have a captive audience. Considering the amount of people in the company, they are your potential viewers... Well, wishful thinking being that they can still go and read Fakebok. (ugh).
• At least, the subject that you write it is related to work, therefore you do not have to worry about spilling the beans on something that you should not have and topics are fairly easy to come by.

However, when my boss' boss asked me on the statistics, I proudly said that nobody is reading the darned thing.

I still need to continue though... it seems that he'll help with advertisement.

The one who rises early...

I need to call my wife earley in the marning. (like a drunken sailor, harr) She has to take the cat to get it fixed. I am not sure why she wants me to call her being that I am not an early riser. But we have to take the kitty early to the hospital. I put the alarm at 6:00 AM (0600h) and I wish that I can actually go up and push her out of bed.

flymake, oh fly, fly you miserable thing.

I managed to get one of our work took working in flymake.el It is the tool that we tell the developers to run before submitting the code for inspection. They never do (of course), but now I have more power to annoy them being that flymake will tell me if they fixed it or not (evil laughter). With that I can raise heck and make their life miserable.

However, it seems that S/Xemacs does not want to play ball. For some reason it's not getting the data that it needs to identify the tool output. I ran it on SXemacs and it barfed on me with an error code.

I need to do more research to figure out why.

It works in Gnu Emacs

Mrs. Cat Goes to the Vet.

We took the cats to the vet last night, the whole thing was uneventful except that my 16 year one was not thrilled with the vet. The vet was unknown to my cat and that usually makes her very uncomfortable. I think that the affair was compounded with the fact that the appointment was late in the evening.

Bottom line... my cat was giving the grumpy cat a run for its money.

It's alive!

I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to ownCloud 4.5 from ownCloud 3.0. So far my system has not blown up in smoke, which I think it's a good sign. What prompted me to do the changes were delays in refreshing the calendar in the Web interface. I was not sure if it was the AJAX or the PHP component.

Now it's the fun part of recovering all the data that I had to store somewhere else because of changes in the database schema. I took the option of rebuilding the database from the get go rather than doing an upgrade.
