  1. I was told, *told* that I wasn’t allowed to work on the 24th, not even until noon. This is near, though not exceeding, that level.

  2. There goes the GDP for December. ☺
    I just wasted ten minutes playing.
    What a hoot. Crazy, silly, but fun stuff.

  3. One thing I haven’t done is post the URL of my personal web site which allows people to control things in my house. (Despite the low theoretical security of the “security through obscurity” information hiding model, it works surprisingly well). WRT to the internet controlled Christmas lights, neat to find out how many people are visiting ones web site to toggle the state of the outdoor lights, but no longer a big deal nowadays (10 years ago I used to think it was really neat to be able to do this). Found this site about 5 years ago and only played with it for about 5 minutes.
    More interesting than controlling the Christmas lights on someones house remotely was a site whose URL I’ve forgotten, which about 10 years ago, allowed one to control an internet enabled cat feeder to drop a cat treat into a dish for the cats in the house. Unfortunately it got over run with visitors and am curious about how much weight the cats put on as a result of letting everyone in the world feed them as one could view a video feed of the cats eating the treats one had just dispensed for them.
