Target: Russ

So, it seems that spammers once again have made a nuisance of themselves, using whatever bots they use to hammer an mt-comments.cgi script I’d left laying around unsecured. My hosting company, the excellent LiquidWeb, did the smart thing and killed the account for a couple hours until the problem was resolved.
So now I’m back.
The Carnival of the Cats, which is usually a Sunday evening sort of thing, will be here Monday morning… because someone has to be the guy who works on Sunday evenings keeping the Internet running, and that guy happens to be me.

Queen of Her Domain

About 15 years ago, a kitten adopted my parents. She was full of energy, a real sparkplug, so it was only natural that her name would reflect that. She became “Bounce.”

Bounce, with my Dad, 1991.
As such critters are wont to do, she grew up, and 15 years later remains a fixture at the family demesne.

Bounce, older and wiser. And lazier.
She is the queen of the extended Emerson family critter collection. Long may she reign.


I don’t need to tell you to go see the Friday Ark, do I?
Monday, the Carnival of the Cats will be right here, hosted by me. I think I even have a workable theme. (It’ll be a day later than usual because I’m at the office until late on Sundays.)
