It is becoming difficult to study here. It happens when I drink too much coffee and start seeing "caffeine cats;" those shadows that move in your extreme peripheral vision and vanish when you look at them. My reading of "Advanced Windows Administration" was being constantly interupted by the cats flashing by the window. I ignored them.

One became persistant and stayed. Then it tapped on the glass. I couldn't ignore that. It was a peewee which immediately called for food. In seconds I had a windowsill of peewees, all begging and calling. They're upset that I've put them on morning and afternoon feeds to force them to hunt for themselves. They think they should be fed whenever they demand it, and they demand it every time they see me.

My studies go "On IA32 systems, the SKAAARK! SKWAARK! Windows server 2003 bootstrap SKWAARK!SKWAARK!SKWAARK! loader *flap flap flap* SKWAARK!SKWAARK! Ntldr, SKWAARK! can load NT4 SKWAARK! Windows 2000, XSKWAARK!P, and Windows *tap tap* SKWAARK! Server 2003 from any * choral choral choral*SKWAARK! drive or peeWEE! peeWEE! partion."

I have four squawking monsters patrolling the exterior of the house. They look in the windows as they walk past, and if they see me they immediately begin calling for food. If I feed them they'll stop, but it's time for them to learn how to Be Wild.

The peewees at my place are more intent on playing a game of chicken with their reflections in my windows. The windows on my West side are at exactly the same height as my neighbor's roof, and peewees like to stand on that roof ...

At least the peewees are relatively small. I've lost only one window (to a crow), but I have to regularly replace many of my insect screens due to holes created by birds going after insects.

I'm sort of enjoying it. It makes me smile to see them hanging around.

Once in the mafia, they never let you go.

Heehee, metaquotes-ed :)

What kind of birds are peewees? Other than hungry lazy ones that is.

ooh ... thanks!

Sounds like a typical study session, whether it be with birds, cats, four-year-olds, or Linux Evangelists. *grin*

Maybe they're in league with the penguins.

So here's a question...

If you go outside, do they follow you? Perch on your head? If they do, I imagine it won't be long until the townsfolk are calling you "Dr. Doolittle". Not that this would be a bad thing...just amusing. Actually, I think they already call you the "Bat Bloke", don't they?

They gather around my feet but don't like being handled at all and keep their distance.
