By definition, cat flaps are supposed to flap. The flap must be able to swing in both directions. However, if running a power extension cord through the cat flap, it loses its property of flappiness. This is not good, because the cat can no longer get in and out of the house, and she resorts to tearing up the screen door. This is something I hope my housemates catch onto sooner rather than later. I could tell them, but where’s the fun in that?
I’m letting my housemates use my computer whenever they want so that they can check their e-mail and whatnot over my broadband Internet connection. I generally try to be nice like this. The problem is when being nice kicks you in the butt. My rather large collection of web bookmarks has disappeared. Not only this, my start page, which is automatically generated by Galeon, usually displays all my bookmarks, recently visited web pages and contains a few web forms for Google searches and dictionary lookups, has been nuked. It is completely blank, except for the heading "Bookmarks". Not impressed. I’ll be seeing if either of them own up to accidentally deleting it. Upon selecting these guys as housemates, I was at great pains to show them that Nigel and I are very honest and open people, and that we would expect the same from them. So far, I’m not that impressed. One of them, who said they had quit smoking, actually hasn’t. This is kind of an issue because Mum and Dad specifically wanted non-smokers. I’m cool with, so long as the smoking is done outside and away from the house.
End of morning gripe.
