File this one under: FFS. My apologies to PZ, for pestering him unnecessarily. I’ve had to change things in my studio lately, to accommodate all the ratlets, and didn’t realize the rats could get up on the computer station. Even more stupidly, I left an admin page open, and left my keyboard on. In their usual mysterious way, they hit a perfect storm of keys, and borked everything here. It’s all fixed up now, so all you wonderful people who commented today, you’ll have to do it again, I can’t figure out how to move comments (if it’s even possible – the rats could probably do it.) For your trouble, here’s Ville, one of Violette’s boys, named after Ville Valo, because of the wicked cute.
How big must your computer be if the 40 foot killer rats can operate it?
*Laughs* It’s tiny in comparison. It is uncanny, their talent for hitting the right keys. They’ve actually posted stuff to Needled before. I don’t know how they manage it. They actually managed to activate something in jetpack, an add-on I hadn’t even messed with.
Evil glint in the eye, there.
I expect they peed on it, too.
Chigau:
Naturally. It’s so fun getting rat piss out of a keyboard.
just noticed
The Never-ending Thread
soooo
Are there any rules we need to know about?
* no eye-gouging?
* no biting above the chin?
* no peas?
Chigau @ 5:
I think peas will have to be optional. Basically, the no asshole rule, magnified. It will be a place for socializing, there can be silliness, seriousness, support, and even arguments, but the arguments need to be based on whatever is being argued, not going to personalities. So, yeah, what you said.
Both wicked and cute, those ratties.
I love your fur oh so black…
Hope the rats won’t figure out your passwords.
HIM is at its best is so melodic while using those incredibly hard and distorted guitar sounds.
Ice Swimmer:
:D Gone with the Sin is playing right now. I’ve had my HIM/Mono Inc/The Rasmus/Apocalyptica playlist going all day.
I knew there was a reason I’ve avoided password keeping programs.
Yeah, I agree. I’ve got to stop listening to Into the Night on a loop, well, no I don’t, it’s not like I have neighbours to annoy.
Me:
Make that HIM/Mono Inc/The Rasmus/Apocalyptica/Project Pitchfork/Moonspell/Helium Vola playlist.
Anne:
They are indeed. Little buggers.
I’m the household IT person, but I only have to deal with other humans. I can’t imagine trying to troubleshoot rat induced computer errors. :-)
Jim @ 12:
Oh, it takes me ages to figure out what they’ve done, it’s almost always something I have zero familiarity with -- I have to go through everything. This time, they turned on something in jetpack, which I hadn’t gone near at all.
Caine @ 13:
And I imagine the rats are snickering as you try to sort out whatever they did.
(This makes me giggle a little, even though it’s probably not all that funny to you :-))
Oh, it’s funny now, it wasn’t so funny when I was expecting PZ to know what was going on and fix it. I really can’t figure out how they manage to hit the right combination of keys. I don’t like keyboard shortcuts either, I’m a mouse baby, so that makes it all the worse for me trying to figure all this shit out. Teach me to leave my bloody keyboard on.
