This afternoon I found that two of the Pis on the Official Windowsill of Mad Science had been dislodged and fallen to my desk. A couple of bent Venetian blinds behind them were a clue to the identity of the culprit - to wit, my cat Zola. He means no harm, but he is a lively and curious creature who has been seen to inhabit windowsills.
I got lucky this time, nothing was damaged and no power interrupted. But I'd hate like hell to have results from a multi-day profiling run ruined. Preventive measures seem required. The only way I can see to head off further mishaps is to put the farm machines into a weighted rack that takes up enough of the Windowsill to deny Zola a landing pad. With, like, spiky bits sticking up so he won't want to jump on top of *it*. This looks like a job for...Legos. http://www.wired.com/2012/09/lego-super-gallery/ Which is why I now find myself wondering where I can go to get a bunch of old-fashioned Lego bricks and plates and strips that aren't, like, a model kit for a movie tie-in. I can't use duplo blocks or minifigs or wheels, not for this application. (I had a huge pile of this stuff when I was a kid. No idea what became of it all.) Ah. There's a Lego Store at King of Prussia Mall, 8 miles from here. The things I do for science... -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@ntpsec.org http://lists.ntpsec.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
