Note for Haloscan Users: Haloscan started (the end of July) rejecting trackbacks if they were submitted “too rapidly” by the same host. I don’t know what the timer is but it is long enough so that it was very difficult to ping everyone that is using Haloscan for trackbacks. I’m sure that they are doing this to try to hold back the tide of trackback spam but it makes the service pretty useless for carnival type posts. Perhaps you can contact them and urge some different solution. Update: Typepad appears to be doing the same thing. Everytime I update the Ark it appears the timers are reset and the long list of MT autogenerated pings fail. Yecchhhh….
Spider And Bee 4
Lady And Houdini Spot The Intruder
The problem with Typepad is that it has a limit on the number of pings it will accept every hour. This has been built into the individual Movable Type blogs as well, to prevent the deadly scourge of server-flooding. It’s become very difficult for those of us who use trackbacks for legitimate purposes.
CAT STAR AND STRIPES
Be careful, Morris could “give you the bomb”… He is in contact with Felix the Cat. Morris needs a new collar. I wonder if I could find the Stars & Stripes breakaway cat collar in Sweden. For more animal pictures, check out Friday Ark at the Modulat…
Cindy Sheehan “is dishonoring her son”
Showing no interest in Cindy Sheehan’s Impeachment Tour as the dinner hour approaches, Tiny and Baby focus, trancelike, listening for the magic incantation: Want your suppers? She clearly doesn’t understand that it was her son’s choice to enlist and to
Happy 35th Monthday, Leather!
Our oldest rat, Leather, turned 35 (months) yesterday. It may seem silly to celebrate a monthday for rats, but considering Leather has beaten the odds (in more ways than one), every morning she’s still with us is cause for…

Water Doggie
Ms. Smijer took Younger to a birthday party recently. She photographed the family dog enjoying himself in the water… I do so hope to come back as a doggie next time ’round… More in the the Ark……

I think shooting images of hummingbirds is a lot like diversions like bowling or golf — the acutal action is fleeting, with lots of hanging around between shots, but once you get started, it’s hard to stop trying. Here’s a…

Where’s Piper?
I’ve set the catcams to cycle every 15 seconds now. It will be easier to watch Nardo grab and take away a toy with the more frequent updates. I’ll modify the various monitoring pages and popups in a bit. Piper…

What is a red knot? It is a migratory bird that travels 12,000 miles every year to breed. But we will not be enjoying this lovely species much longer if we don’t put an immediate stop the overharvest of their food source; horseshoe crab eggs. See a picture of this amazing bird and learn how you can help in Birds in the News, #22, Extinction is Forever. This issue of Birds in the News also has a picture of another rediscovered avian species, the long-legged warbler, Trichocichla rufa, which lives only in the mountains of Fiji.

The Cat’s Whiskers
If you are the cat’s whiskers, you are better than everyone else; or someone who is most highly approved of. Here is the Chinese version: I looked and looked for the origin of this expression, but with no luck. It must just be due to the cat’s obvious…

What – Friday already?
That means it
Sadly, trackback as it exists now appears to be a thoroughly broken model due to the prevalence of spammers.
I’m sure that someone clever is already working out an improved system.

I think I found Psycho’s doppelganger while visiting Pasadena. This was one of a number of cats that inhabit Reinway Court. He wouldn’t tell me his name. For the Friday Ark.

Feline Friday: Sashayoga
Sasha is one of the most relaxed cats I know. Never mind that he startles easily, and rarely comes out from under our bed when we have company. When I pick Sasha up, he becomes seemingly boneless; he’s a soft, warm, rumbling stuffed animal who occasion…
