I put together a mini-map project to try & show where our scaly members are native to, and thanks to the power of ActionScript, it turned out to be one heck of a map engine. I still have to add more details to the map and expand on the features, but the first version of it is now up and running.

On another pet-related note, I’m having trouble keeping my old laptop alive. The power connection is really loose and the thing shuts off if Rascal jumps on it or if it overheats. I’m working on a solution. It will probably be in the form of a new dummy PC that can feed my server.

I finally added Zelda to the pet page. She was the final member of our reptile family. I also re-added pictures of Jenny, our Little Beagle, and Masha my cat. Both are no longer with us and I removed them for a long time from the site for a number of reasons but, enough time has passed and I put them back up to show that yes, we did at one point grow up with hairy & furry family members. Back in those days, I didn’t even know what an Iguana was or that there are giant lizards in general. It’s understandable. I remember a Larry King episode when he had Jack Hanna on the show and a tame adult Rhinoceros Iguana on the table: people (along with Daryl Hannah) were dumbfounded.

No, not the reptiles I’m talking about the machine running the cameras. I can’t remote in from work if it goes down :( That being the case, the feeds can go down for the day.
