Note for Haloscan Users:
Over the past month or so Haloscan started (the end of July) handling of trackbacks has improved though it is still pretty broken for carnival type posts. Now, instead of rejecting every attempt to ping it accepts single pings for a while and then will start rejecting them. I will keep trying to track back to Haloscan boarders but can make no guarantees for any particular week.
Note for Typepad Users:
Typepad continues to behave similar to Haloscan for trackbacks. I been able to get trackbacks to most, if not all, Typepad based boarders. I have to do it one at a time and wait a while in between pings but Typepad does not go into semi-permanent rejection mode like Haloscan.
I would be very grateful if my post could be added to the Friday Ark for this week. I’ve tried submitting it via the blog carnival form, but there appears to be a problem, and it keeps telling me I’ve entered the wrong security code, even when it’s clearly the right one. Many thanks!

FUZZY FRIDAY
When I feel like a victim of Cruel Fate
With the pressure of the world’s ponderous weight,
Within minutes I can be feeling great
‘Cause all I have to do is go Modulate.
Why Doesn’t Anyone Say “Thank You?”
Every week The Modulator hosts the Friday Ark. He posts links to all kinds of animal-related blog posts
A New Day Dawns at the ‘Post
Yesterday I used some of the money I had been saving with all of the frugality tips I’ve shared and bought a low-end digital video camera
Feline Friday: Catching some flick(er)s
For indoor cats, windows are televisions, or perhaps movie screens. Sometimes, the picture is bright and crisp; but often it’s streaky or hazy, or very very dark. The sound is usually muffled, but on nice days, sound quality goes up, and the sho…

Sasha and Dexter follow their familiar rounds, tending to take it all for granted, as we do.
